I had a couple of boas that were not eating but they had large distended bellies. I took one to the vet today, someone that was refered to me as a good snake doc, and basically I'm being told it needs to be euthinized and a necropsy done. The vet is saying that he doesn't know what it is but is suspecting krypto..... inflammation of the stomach lining caused by a parasite. None of the parents have any problems, the babies have eaten and defficated, but have lately refused food. All are kept in their own sterilite shoe box with paper towel as their only substrate. It's hard to photograph but I did as best I could. I appreciate any help.
