I have a reoccurring problem with my emerald tree boas defecation. The last three times Ive had to put it in water. I have fed it four mice and its been about eight weeks. Ive put it in warm water and it wont go, the cloaca is not swollen though, what am I doing wrong. please help, Thank for your time guys.

We normally don't have any problems with our neos thru adult going on their own and don't get worried until after the 3rd meal. They get nothing further until they give something back! LOL

If you are in a climate where you can go outside, putting them on a "jungle Gym" and lightly "raining" on them with the hose works wonders. You can accomplish the same thing indoors in the shower. Just remember to make sure the water isn't too cold or too warm. Once they start moving around with the "rain" comming down, you generally only have a short time to wait.

That's what works for us. Hope it helps.
