I have a Boa with RI and i cant seem to find a Vet that will take snakes. I need help asap if you can.
Thanks,
Kevin

Until you find a vet, I'm no expert, but I know you are supposed to turn the heat up, and keep it warm. How long hes he had it, and how bad is it. Derek

ya i have already turned up the heat about 5 degrees. I just got him a week ago and just noticed a weeze about two days ago. its not as noticeable today so maby the heat is helping.but i would still like to find a vet.
Thanks,
Kevin

What temp are you at. You may want to turn it up a little more. I have read this in the forums a few times.

Here is a link to Missouri Vets. I'd start with the closer ones then work your way out until you find a herp vet.

Derek,
What part of Missouri do you live in, and how far are you willing to travel to take your snake to a vet?

www.arav.org . This is the website for the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians. They have listings of vets by state--several are listed in MO. Best of luck to you and your boa!
