Message from Owner

$500 for safe return . I’m looking for my girl Sheila, a red tail boa who has been my companion for 12 years. She got out today and made her way into a storm drain in my yard on Glenarden pkwy Sheila is 6-7 feet long, brown and tan with a beautiful reddish pattern toward her tail. Smooth glossy scales, wide triangular head, copper-colored eyes. She moves slowly and is very calm by nature. She could surface anywhere the drain system connects in the area, so please keep an eye out along fences, foundations, gardens, and under porches. Sheila is gentle, not venomous, and will move away from people if she sees them. If you spot her please take a photo from a distance and reach out to me right away at

Maybe a scent hound can help. Try calling Dogs Finding Dogs.

A suggestion is to share this with hiking and nature groups and also any kind of maintenance workers that may come across the snake. I hope it's returned home safely and quickly.
