Hello,
I obtained a 6 foot, 3 year old male Boa about 3 weeks ago, he has eaten well. But I found out last week he has mites, as he was soaking quite abit.
This past weekend I moved him into a "brand new" 48" x 24" x 16" pvc enclosure which was sprayed down with Provent a mite. All conditions are correct in the enclosure
However he has been in his water dish since Sunday, so going on 3 days now.
Should I leave him be, until he is ready to come out?, or should I physically remove him from the water dish each day to change the water?
He is somewhat cool to the touch, as the water dish is on the cool side which is about 76 ambient, warm side is 90 (heated by heat tape and radiant panel)
My concern is that he is staying to cool, and too water logged, but I know he is soaking because of the mites, which I will spray his enclosure again 10-14 days.
Just confused as to what to do, let him do his thing, or make him move? As today is feeding day, and he has been a good eater so far.
Thanks
