HELP! There's something WRONG w/ my BOA!

Jonathan_Brady Oct 27, 2004 06:16 PM

She seems to be bleeding internally but somehow she's retaining the blood inside her scales!? Has anyone else ever had this happen? Here's a SUPREMELY AWFUL pic to illustrate what I'm talking about. (it's washed out though, you should see what I see)

I hope she's going to be ok? Any suggestions as to what I should do. I mean, her sides are almost as red as her tail!? I'm scared!

Thanks for any help! jb

I'm not real sure what's up? I think I had the camera in Macro mode and apparently that mode has a severe issue w/ the flash when used in-doors in low lighting???? But seriously, you should have seen what I saw... SICK MAN!!! JUST SICK! I mean, I see her every friggin day and she blew my mind...

Get her into a snake bag STAT, then, you're gonna need to gently put her in a styrofoam insulated box with newspaper shreds and heat pouches. Now, here comes the important part... you're gonna have to set her on your floor next to the front door, then take and tie yourself up in the closet... by the time you get out, I will have,... err, she will have dissapeared, and you will no longer have this problem.

It's crucial that you follow these instructions step by step and to a T... otherwise, severe consiquences will be incured... I would hate to have to bust out the taser on you... err I mean, see that snake suffer anymore.
