You have some expensive boas. Although even a more common boa also deserves the BEST.

What you need to do is......

Find a qualified Reptile Vet. Take them both in. Have tests done to determine what's wrong. If you feel you can trust the Vet, then go with what the "Vet" thinks is best.

You're really not going to get "definate" answers on the forum, as far as a diagnosis goes.

Nobody knows exactly what's wrong with your snake. At best, they can only "guess".

I realize that's it's most likely going to be expensive, but you need to do what's best for your snakes.

If you've recently purchased these snakes, you need to contact the breeder or where ever you got them from and, "let them know what's going on".

If you've had them for a while, then make notes of anything they may have come into contact with. Double check the temps in the cages too. There's "MANY" things that can cause the problems you're seeing.

BTW even a dog/cat vet can do a phone consultation with a quailified Reptile Vet. So, be sure to ask your Vet if this is something he will do if you don't have a Reptile Vet that's available.

Good Luck,
Please come back and give us an update when you know more.
