Hi All,
Just a question, not sure if you could tell me if this is common with Boa's or something to be concerned with.. My newly aquired 6 foot boa has this habit for lack of a better word of staying upright, basically pointing his head straight up, sometimes leaning the side of his face on the glass or sides and nose stright up towards the ceiling. He stays this way for long lenths of time. Normally I would be concerned with this but because his mouth is closed, so I am thinking its not respiratory, and yes his mouth appears mucus free. I was reading up more on boa's and a problem called star gazing grabbed my attention. Now I have been dealing with snakes for a long while, but this is my first full time boa, it may just be normal for them. All the boa's I have dealt with over the last three years were rescues and placed within 48 hours, so I am not 100% sure.
Any thoughts
Thanks
Steve Clark
