STV NewsA boa constrictor is seeking a forever home to slither into after he was found abandoned.
Jason MaBoa, named after the actor Jason Momoa, is looking for a fast and furious experienced owner who is confident in handling this muscly creature.
The reptile has been at the SSPCA Edinburgh Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre for nine days.
Staff at the centre said: “Like his namesake, this is a handsome, muscly guy with a friendly nature.
“Jason MaBoa is a young 3ft boa constrictor, who is looking to grow to around 4ft-6ft.
“He strikes for food and is looking for an experienced owner who is confident around feeding.
“He will need a suitably sized vivarium with plenty of room to roam as he grows. This will include lots of great enrichment where he can slither and spaces to curl up in.”
Jason MaBoa is one of 16 snakes in SSPCA centres who are looking for homes.
Hiss Hemsworth is a bullsnake who has been in the Dunbatonshire centre for 32 days and Rumple Snakeskin is a reticulated python who has been in for 125 days.
The charity has urged potential new snake owners to do their research before taking on a reptile, including how big the animal will grow, its feeding habits and the environment it will need to thrive.
If you or someone you know can offer Jason or any other snake their forever vivarium then you can apply on the SSPCA website.
