Susi

Mixed Breed · Female

Species: Boa constrictor (Boa constrictor)Gender: FemaleColor: Wild-coloredAge: AdultAdmitted to the shelter on: June 29, 2025HTV Number: 350_S_25Susi came to us because her owner passed away. Now we’re looking for a new home for this charming snake lady. Susi is the sweetest Boa constrictor—if you leave her alone, that is. However, she doesn’t like everyone! When you open her terrarium, she peeks in curiously to see what you’re up to—and to make sure everything’s being done just right ;-)The Boa constrictor is one of the longest boa species. A boa is not suitable for beginners—considering the immense strength and size these animals can reach. Therefore, we require proof of relevant expertise.The Boa constrictor has a life expectancy of up to 25 years and can grow to between 2 and 3 meters in length; thus, acquiring a Boa constrictor, like any other pet, should be carefully considered. Susi also has certain requirements for her future home: a spacious terrarium must include plenty of different climbing and hiding spots—as well as excellent bathing opportunities. Since her native habitat is quite warm, the Boa constrictor prefers daytime temperatures between 27° and 30°C, with lower temperatures at night.Until we find a new home for Susi, we’d be grateful for people who would support her through a sponsorship.

Art: Boa constrictor (Abgottschlange)Geschlecht: weiblich. Farbe: wildfarbenAlter: adultIm Tierheim seit: 29.06.2025HTV-Nummer: 350_S_25 Susi kam zu uns, weil ihr Halter verstorben ist. Nun suchen wir ein neues Zuhause für die bezaubernde Schlangendame. Susi ist die netteste Boa constrictor, wenn man sie in Ruhe lässt. Allerdings mag sie nicht jeden! Wenn man ihr Terrarium öffnet, guckt sie neugierig, um zu beobachten, was man macht - und, um zu schauen, ob auch alles richtig gemacht wird ;-)Die Boa constrictor gehört zu den längsten Abgottschlangen. Eine Boa ist nichts für Anfänger*innen – bedenkt man schon die enorme Kraft und Größe, die diese Tiere erreichen. Eine vorhandene Sachkunde muss uns daher nachgewiesen werden.Mit einer Lebenserwartung von bis zu 25 Jahren und einer Größe von 2 bis 3 Metern muss die Anschaffung einer Boa constrictor, wie bei jedem Tier, gut überlegt sein. An das künftige Zuhause hat Susi auch einige Ansprüche: In einem großen Terrarium dürfen viele verschiedene Kletter- und Versteckmöglichkeiten genauso wenig fehlen wie tolle Bademöglichkeiten. Da es in ihrer Heimat recht warm ist, wünscht sich die Boa constrictor eine Temperatur von 27°-30°C am Tag, nachts entsprechend weniger. Bis wir für Susi ein neues Zuhause gefunden haben, freuen wir uns über Menschen, die Susi mit einer Patenschaft unterstützen.

About Susi

What life with Susi looks like

Susi is a large adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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

🇩🇪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 Susi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Susi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Susi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Susi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg 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 Susi 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 Susi 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 Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Susi 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.
