sick Boa

[_Jj_]

I have a young boa constrictor who recently bagan showing signs of illness. She's about 3 feet in length now. She just began star gazing and her feces have started to be watery. She is still eating well but i can tell she's sick. I'm trying to get her to the vet as soon as possible but in the meantime, does anybody have any suggestions about what the problem might be or if i should change any of the conditions in the tank while i wait to get to the vet? Thanks!

Ok....got a few questions.....
What is your cage setup? feeding schedule?etc....
Is she actually "stargazing" or just looking up?
Is there any response from her if you try to interrupt the "stargazing"?
Is she flicking her tounge while doing this?
When you flip her on her back, does she correct herself?

Hope you have a good herp vet.

Good luck!

Get a fecal done for sure, and possibly a culture as well. There are many things that can cause those symptoms, most commonly a bacterial or protozoal infection.

If you have any other herps make sure you put her in quarantine to prevent any possible spread of what ever it is she may have.
