I have a two foot female suriname that I've had for about seven months. She was purchased from a "big name" and is supposedly CB. She used to eat fine but now really doesn't eat at all. When you pick her up you can feel her body twitching and jerking. I'm not talking about wiggling to get free but almost like muscle spasms. My husbandry is good, I have lots of other boas and colubrids that are fine. Any opinions? IBD symptom? Any thought would be appreciated.
