Boa Constrictor diarrhea

benny333 Nov 09, 2009 05:29 AM

Hi Every one
Have any one seen this problem among Boa Constrictors? I was told that snakes don't have Diarrhea but baby girl just happens to do so. First, the dropping are still in shape, just softer than normal, now it looks waterish with very bad smell. She still feeds normally, but just kept getting thinner, I'm afraid she won't last long.
Thank you for any advice or input.

Benny

Have a vet check her for parasites and also consider the strong possibility of an intestinal bacterial infection. Is she a farmed import or captive produced in the U.S. ?

I have considered infection, but I did treat her with Flaggy once she arrived. I was told she is CB, but not quite sure if it's true.
