hi
I just got this argentina boa, now heres what I know she is 6' the person who had her was feeding her 1 mouse a week and a round a 6 weeks ago droped her off at a pet store ,the store had her in the back and was treating her for a respitroy infection the vet was in the store one a week looking over things and the snake she was on baytrl , they showed her to me and I got here 'I know bad put i could not leave a sick snake in a pet store' she stayed in the store for another 2 weeks till the vet cleared her for me to take home know she still not healthy and Im taking her to my vet tomorrow. At the store she was in a 30 gal tank and they did not clean the mucis that was on her nose off so you could not see she had holes for her nose and they feed her 1 rat a week for 3 weeks and know she has not ate in 3 weeks I think that is from being feed so little and then getting bigger food she is not use to it. but she is home know and in a 130 gal tank I cleaned her nose and I seems to love her tank the first thing she did was strech out and move around her humidity is about 60% and heat is 90 under the lights and in the rest of the tank 80. I put her in the bath 1 a day because she is so dry and she'l swim around and then lay there and after a while she gets out , i make sure the water dose not get cold what else sould I be doing? thank you kate
