Potential serious proble, right off the bat...

Hello, my name is Kevin and I plan on becoming very active here. I finally purchased my Boas...

1.0 Adult Proven Anery
1.0 Adult Proven Het Albino
1.0 '05 DH Sunglow
0.1 '04 Albino
0.1 Adult Proven Normal

Now, the problem. Upon receiving the animals, I notice what appears to be some sort of absess on the Adult Normal female's nose. She also has a terrible wheeze, similar to a tire losing air. I have caught her "Star Gazing" on two occasions, but she may have been simply looking up. I noticed also that the Anery male was making a bit of a hiss when I got him out. He was kept with the female before I got him. His "wheeze" is a lot more rare than the female's and nowhere NEAR as loud. To be honest, I suspect that he was just puffing at me since I was handling him.

I admit, I am very new to Boas, but I do honestly want advice, I am here seeking information to help my snakes, and I plan to get them to a Vet ASAP. I would simply like any information possible, or advice. Thank you all very much for your time and help.



Kevin R
