Hi, i have a columbian boa who i aquired in early august. shes only a year and a half old or so and feeding on adult mice every 7-10 days. the first week of october i noticed mites on her cagemate and few on her. they were separated and treated and were gone farely quickly. and are still separated and mite free. for about the past months time i havent noticed any waste in her cage. the only thing ive noticed is a clump of bedding assuming she released some sort of fluid. ive refrained from feeding her and am begining to be very concerned. i have been soaking her once a day in warm water for the past few days but only for about 30 mins. she doesnt enjoy it and i fear stressing her out too much. is there anything else i can do or do i need to be soaking her more frequently throughout the day and for longer durations? i appreciate any feedback. also i wonder is this a frequent problem with columbian boas? i have a jungle carpet python as well who ive never had problems with and ive had her for 6 years now.
