Digestion question

metal_pitbu11 Nov 29, 2004 03:59 PM

I fed my 4ft. boa a rat 5-6 days ago, and i noticed she hadnt moved from the cool end of her cage all week, and when i looked at her today, she still looks like i just fed her. im a bit worried something could be wrong, i just got the snake about a month and a half ago, but she has eaten 3 times before this time, and everything seemed fine then, but if there is something im missing here, please let me know. thanks.

Check your temps. Both the warm and the cool side. Make sure there is a gradient. 80 degrees on the cool side and about 90 degrees on the warm side. If there is a gradient then she will find the proper temps she needs to be at to digest.
