This is an update on the Costa Rican Boas whom had a neurologic disorder. All seen to be fine now, all but one(1yr old)male. He seems to be quite blind. I suspected something while feeding him, he misses the food item unless it is close. I tried to startle him with quick hand movements and unless he felt a breeze or heat he never moves in any reactionary way. His eyes are mostly black without pupils, or very little ones. The other three have good vision and reactions. This one still has the poor coordination when turned upside down and tries to right itself. Not so much a balance problem but directional..first for me.

Chase,
I just wanted to tell you how facinating your case (with the Boas) is! Consider me a complete layman when it comes to veterinarian treatment or concerns. I don't even keep snakes. But I do enjoy following the posts here....The ones that end well anyways. Honestly, I'm hoping some knowledge rubs off on me. Thanks for letting me follow along.
