I just recently got an adult Brazilian rainbow boa for a guy in the paper. He got it as a baby about 3 ½ years ago and he didn’t know the sex. The set up was horrible he had the 5 ½ foot snake in a 40 gal with a small heat rock. One of its “dinners”, it was fed in its cage due to its aggression, had chewed up the heat rock wire. The snake used to knock over her water dish all the time and get water all over her bedding. The snake smelled like rot or moldy stinky poop. The snakes belly is red and flakey. I put her in a big Rubbermaid on cypress mulch with a under tank heating pad and big hide hoping that it will help. I also do not have a water dish in the cage. I plan to soak the snake until conditions are better. Is there anything else that I can do to help its conditions? Also, I heard that if you see white between the scales that means that the snake is over weight. Ive seen a few snakes on web sites that have a little gap between scales. Are they born to do that or are they over weight? Is it hard to tame an adult? The snake was once tame now it’s a mean little brat! Ha ha ha. Oh yea one more thing is it hard to switch them to frozen because I know it’s hard to switch balls HA cause I’m still trying. Hope to have a quick responce. Thanks!
