Believe it or not, I was brought into the shelter as a stray and then transferred to rescue to help me find my new home!
Usually, babies my size are not used to being handled yet but I am actually very easy to pick up and work with.
Fun fact about me: I got my name because I came from Riverside and I will grow to be just like a long flowing river!
I'm a young snake and I love being held and checking out new things! I do like to come out to socialize and I need to be socialized so that I can be handled when I am fully grown.
I'm also very healthy and I am a great eater! As a young and active boa, I require my own habitat that is secure. Clearly, I have managed to get out on a few occasions so my habitat will require a lock. It will also need to be large enough to accommodate what I will be as an adult. Though I am considered on the small side now, I will get as big as 6 to 8 feet!
With the right diet, habitat, substrate, temperature, and humidity I can live a long and healthy life of up to 30 years! My new family must have reptile experience and preferably large snake experience.
If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/6356
PLEASE NOTE:
1- We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time.
2- We do not ship reptiles but we may be willing to work with you if you are willing to travel if you are still in Southern California.
3- #2 will depend on the animal that you are applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.
Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.
We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.
Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
