Well one of my boas was showing some very strange signs (like movement problems, and stargazing) The movement problems were there since I got her but the stargazing just started up. So I took her to the vet and the vet said he had never seen anything like it and it could be a neurological disease. She got worse as time went on, so I contacted the breeder and he was very very nice about it and offered to take her back.



Well now all 3 of my other boas are now showing the exact same signs. I also have a rat snake but she seems fine. Maybe it is a boa exclusive disease. I don't know what to do. They are just going to get progressivly worse. I was thinking I may have to put them down. Then it would be necessary to completely disinfect all of the cages and then get one new boa at a time, quaretining each one. I really don't want to see them getting worse and worse each month. Any opinions?
