Finally, the little guy ate. The local pet shop sent a solomon island boa home with me cause it hadn't eaten for her since she got it, almost 2 months. I had it at home for around 3-4 weeks, offered it a frog after a week and a half, nothing, offered a mouse every 5 days over night, nothing. Finally, last night, I put a frog in with him at night, woke up this morning, no frog. Also found he likes to soak, when i got him home the first day, put in a decent sized ceramic bowl, and he bolted right to it, and soaked almost 90% of the time i had him. he shed, defecated, and showed no signs of mites or ticks. I dont have a reptile vet near, does anyone know how i can get a stool sample checked for internal parasites, or what kind of preventative treatment i can give him "just in case"? Thanks for reading.
