I noticed a few weeks ago that she was moving around awkwardly lifting up and twirly her tail around her cloaca area.



This is an 03 female normal boa, i had bred her to a male and separated them when the male lost interest which was a week before she had her POS which was 5/15. Thats when i started to notice this.



Then, only a couple of weeks later, she went into shed again, and this time there was a noticable burn-like scar completely encirling the area just above the cloaca. It looks like underneath the shed area, her scales have turned bare white. I tried to get a pic of her belly scales but she got nasty, and also appears to be gravid.



I really am at a loss with this. Can anyone help me cure this boa?



Thanks.
