ESPECIALLY after having regurged... feeding her sooner in this state would be like trying to kill her.

Another thing, anytime I have kept boas that hot, they have always regurged. always. in my experience, that is way too hot. maybe an overhead lamp that makes a 90some degree hotspot for a couple hours, and the 80something being the normal hotspot, but in my experience, they need access to a spot a little bit cooler.. my cool ends are mid to high 70's.


Also, keep this in the back of your mind... Vets, like other doctors, will take the longest route possible, in many cases, and use the weakest doses or medicines possible so to have you come back and pay for many more visits. It's unfortunate, but the money is not in the cure.. see what I mean?

I know 90% of the Vets I have spoken to claim to be experienced with reptiles/snakes, but 90% of those are evidently NOT. Again, anything to get you in the door and spend that cash.


Best wishes to you and your boa in the future.

take care, Joe
