I had 3 of my boas die all within a month. One seemed as though there was some impact issues as he was an 08 and there were visual indications. The second was a 05 female, very healthy and the 3rd was an much older female that had an RI which was treated and thought to be cured.
The later two had some of the same symptoms in that they stopped eating, even when the temps were put up. They both became lethargic. They both were possibley gravid. They thinned out in the neck, chest area. Kept that region of their body in a tense narrow vertical position and the rest of their body remained relaxed. They both seemed otherwise fine until they passed during the night. They were kept together for a bit before becoming ill.
I am now worried, having read some scary posts about bacterial outbreaks that have wiped out entire collection.
Is there anything one can do to confirm if there is such a need to worry? No other anmals appear to be ill. Are my concenrs warrented?
Thanks,
Kenny
