I have a young Colombian Boa who I've had for about three months. She has been eating regularly, deficating regularly, and has shed twice now. She has been active and friendly. The temperature in her tank is around 90 degrees daytime/80 degrees nightime and she is on a summer light cycle.

Suddenly my snake is not doing so well. She hasn't eaten in two weeks, and is showing no interest in the food (i'm feeding frozen thawed). Her skin looks baggy or dehydrated. She still seems active, regulating her body temperature between her two hides. She just looks bad, and isn't eating.

Another snake owner suggested to me that she is hybernating, but I've owned boas before and have never had this problem. Any suggestioons or hints would be greatly appreiceated! Thank you!
