I have a BCI baby that hadn't eaten since 8/13. I was becoming quite worried as she was a voracious feeder prior to this. I had noticed a hard lump in her belly. I was going to make a vet appointment and then today she regured the tail and back legs of the hopper. The front portion of the meal was hard as a rock. Very weird, it was as if she had impacted by this and it didn't digest after over 2 weeks. Is this possible? Why wouldn't she be able to move the hopper through her system? I am going to wait to feed her 10 days and put some nutribac in her water bowl, does this sound right? Thanks, John

John, I saw the title of your post and nearly fainted. Good luck with the boa though!
Are the babies growing?

Heck yea! They just shed again. I will have to take some pics and weigh them. How many babies did you keep Mike? I love these 2, just need to get another unrelated pair to mix em up for future breeding
