advice needed

I have this female brazilian rainbow boa here, that I thought could be gravid,

This week we had a too hot temps, that rised up to 35 degrees :(
I dont think shes feeling really good,

She was hissing alot couple of days before the great heat days,
But now the hissing stopped and she doesnt look very well, I dont have any pictures of her since I dont have any batteries for my numeric Cam.. But anyway,

I think she may had trouble with the heat and wondering if anyone could tell me what I could do to make her feel better now, I rised up her humidity, and she shed last night...
I dont know what to do next, :(

My mom bought for me a air conditionner that will be installed tomorrow, So I hope not to get any heat problems for the summer to come and others...

What are her symptoms? How is she doing now?

Hmmm... sorry to say it, but you may need to wait this one out..
BRBs do not do well at all when the temps get above 85f (29c).
The temps may have dehydrated her a lot so you may want to consider tubing her a small amount of water, twice a day for the next few days and watch for any nuerological symptoms, such as laying upside down, twitching etc. along with any signs of raspy breathing (possible lung irritation from the heat).

If she does display any signs of RI from it, then wait to treat with meds, get her hydrated first!!!!!
Antibiotics are very dehydrating and would do more harm than good untill fully hydrated.

How many days was it in the 95f (35c) range?

Not to contradict the Omen but on the advice of an experienced BRB breeder I've been keeping mine at 88 since I got them back in December and they are thriving. I agree wait it out. Keep her cool and humid in the mean time. She may be gravid which coupled with the shed cycle could deffinately be responsible for the swing in behaviour.
Good luck with her and keep us posted.

Her skin looks dry, deshydrated, no more rainbows, with some little white thing on some scales,

I asked some people around me and they think she might had an infection on her skin because of the too high temps and maybe very high humidity...
Told me to wait til the next shed to see how she will be doing..

The high temps were for 2-3 days, she was in shed, and she wasnt going in her water bowl so I misted her 3-4 times a day so she wont get any trouble to shed, she was in her water bowl the day before she shed.. wich was perfect..

Ill sit and wait till the next shed...
Thanks again

I hope she will do fine,
The male is still top shape.. at least..

Little update on the girl...
After 2 weeks since her last shed. she is beginning another shed...
I guess she will be ok now,
She still has a little swelling going on, so I think I still can hope that she will give birth this year.. :)

Thank you guys :)
