I just made an in depth post it disappeared into thin air

This sounds like the bad rat problem to me.

I still believe that pretty normal looking rats in some cases
have high levels of fat in them.

That causes a bacteria bloom in the Boa I think.

Then the skin color leaches out and gets worse after a shed

I know now if it happened to me again I'd administer amakacin immediately but . . . .

You should get a stool sample have it cultured. If high numbers of pseudomonas, Klebsiella,proteus,Proteus mirabilis,even E coli occur in high numbers
( Vet and Lab will know what normal parameters should be)
but if in high numbers you should treat the Boa with antibiotics like Amakacin

Also a blood sample could be useful.

I'll tell you right now if you find a spot , an area in the cage that looks like basic mucous ,
like if some one spit up alot of mucous- (a goupy pile of spit).

Within 24-48 hours of mucous discharge the animal will pass.


I can't know that's what's happening with your girl, I only
know my bad experience in '08
