I just wanted to say thank you for the help. She did eat.Doug you were alot of hel and I Appriciate all the help. Lori This is my first snake and it is not even mine. If you did not get to read that part my friend asked me to keep it while he is overe seas being a marine. I was asking questions because I would like to be better informed but your comments are very confusing with all of the abbreviations. I did not know what you were saying half of the time. I really appriciate the help but you need to remember that not all of us know all the abbriviations and the lingo of snakes that is why we are asking. thank you agian Doug and Lori
Ok I already know that I do not know all that I should about Boa's but I have had my frineds snake for 4 months now and it has been soooo great until last week............... My friend is a marine and had to go over seas and left his snake with me... I knew nothing about snakes and I think that I have been doing a very good job so far (at least it hasnt died) She has shed 3 times and grown 1 foot she has always seemed very happy until last week it was time to feed her but when I put the mice in she did not seem interested. Everyday for the last week I have been putting one mouse in for about an hour but she still has no interest. I know that these are the correct size mice because they are the same size that she has been eating for the last couple of months but it usually only takes her about 30 mins to eat all 3. I think shee might be shedding again will this affect her eating and why??? HER INFO 5 ft long she has a 3'x2'x3' glass cage I have a heat lamp on her with a reptial bulb the temp is always between 85 and 95 degrees and she always has plenty of water.SHe is a red tailed boa if this makes a diff.
QUESTIONS ??? why does she go under the bark???? I went in the pet store and their red tail was in the water dish curled up mine never does why??? is she supposed to??? do they like the water??? how do you check the humidity??? Thank you in advance for any help you provide!!!cherylv
