Medusa

Female

Medusa was found. The 1.65m long and 4.3kg heavy Madagascan boa, who really has no patience or tolerance for people, especially when her enclosure needs cleaning, is looking for a home with experienced caregivers. Since she tested positive for adenovirus, we would like to place her in single housing. If you can provide Medusa with a home, please contact our animal caretakers at 030 76 888 161.

Medusa wurde gefunden. Die 1,65m lange und 4,3kg schwere Madagaskarboa, die auf Menschen wirklich gar keine Lust und auch wenig Toleranz hat, wenn zB. ihre Unterkunft gereinigt werden muss. Sie sucht einen Platz bei erfahrenen Haltern. Da sie bei uns positiv auf das Adenovirus getestet wurde, möchten wir sie in Einzelhaltung vermitteln. Wenn Sie Medusa ein Zuhause bieten können, wenden Sie sich bitte unter 030 76 888 161 an ihre Tierpfleger*innen.

About Medusa

What life with Medusa looks like

Medusa is a medium-sized adult animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Medusa far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Note from the shelter: Tested positive for adenovirus, requires single housing. Low tolerance for handling and cleaning activities.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Medusa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Medusa?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Medusa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Medusa if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Medusa already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Medusa isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Medusa and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
