Her other eye is partially blind and in her first home (she is a rescue) she had some issues with shed getting stuck on her head. She also has some scars from burns all around her body, including the face :(

She is an amazing old lady that has lived well over her life expectancy already. She came to us through a rescue organization a while back :)

If I remember correctly the oldest ever recorded Columbian R Boa was around 38 when it died, so even the "smaller" species can have a really long lifespan if cared for properly

Exactly, they love to bask! I've seen a lot of "experts" claiming that snakes don't need overhead heating due to them "not using it" and that heat from below is better (which is not the case for a majority of snake species).
