Since Lucky is closing in on 13 years old I took her to the vet just to see her bloodwork...curiosity! The vet came back to me on her blood and I quote 'She is super normal' lol. So I expect she is going to be around for quite awhile:crazy:
The vet and the techs were all in love with her. Apparently they only get snakes in that have attitude. So when I told them I was bringing in an 8' boa they were apparently expecting a struggle and possibly dodge the teeth. Instead they were able to manhandle her and poke around in her mouth without her even coming close to biting.
And when they took her to the back for blood they took the bag I guess expecting to have to stuff an angry snake in after stabbing her with a needle. Apparently she just let them roll her over and poke her then just went back to exploring and trying to climb the humans. Instead of a bagged snake coming back to me she was on the techs shoulder and they were oohing and ahhing over her like she was a cuddly fluffy animal instead of a snake:rolleyes:
Vet mentioned wanting to use her in their occasional educational programs that they do. Told her if they want her it's no problem! If they ask I'm sure I can come up with a couple others for them too. I expect my albino beauty male would do just as good and the young female retic if they can get the permits for it. They actually borrow some of the shelter birds when they do these too.
They were a little too surprised by her iridescent look...little worried about the quality of care the other boa patients are getting from their owners if that's unusual to see:O_o:
