Just to add...your snake has two issues that you mentioned...reguritation and respiratory. You asked for advice, so don't get all defensive when fellow posters offer you some. Dum's have respiratory problems more frequently than a lot of other boas, and prolonging your snakes esposure to new and stressful environments only increases the likelihood that your snake will succumb to these infections more often.



Snakes are not domestic, and as much as we'd like to think it, they don't enjoy large amounts of handling. You may think your snake loves going out and about in the neighborhood because she is more active, but she is more active because she is in new surroundings, and the new surroundings are making her nervous. That is why snakes often go off feed when you change enclosures. You don't have to believe me, or the other posters...but hey, if you have all the answers, don't bother posting
