Sick Boa

chiplatham May 27, 2006 02:23 PM

hello...i have a yearling hypo that is behaving strangly. a lot of times when she crawls, her head twitches and is upside down a lot...like the top 1/3 of her body will turn over upside down.

i am flinching as i type this because of some of the post i have read about ibd, etc.

anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?

I agree. And I hate to say it but this will likely end in a dead snake... get a complete post mortem done, esp. looking for IBD... it'll be for the sake of any future boas you decide to keep.

at this point, i'd be open to sending it off for research. does anyone know of a vet in the charloote nc area that knows anything about snakes?
