This is travis with the rescue boa from a month ago. All has been weel. No signs up intil now. I just moved her to her new home, a spacious 6' X 2.5' X 2' enclosure with floor heating and two heat lamps. I have only had on lamp on at a time. The temp is right at 90 in most of the enclosure. high 90's around the heated floor and directly under the heat lamp where she has a shelf. Right now I only have one hide which is 88 or so. Today I noticed a very small amount of nose snot. Her mouth looks pretty good, not any extra saliva. What concerns me is that I have seen her with her mouth slightly open. She seems to want to stay in the hide most of the time. Is it possible the temp is too high? The humidity is at 50%
Please help to head off a relapse. Otherwise maybe normal behavior and I am just worrying.
Travis
