Alright,
I have had my new boa for the last month or so. He/She is around 5 1/2 feet long. This is my first "big snake" so i am a bit concerned about this
Appx 3-4 days after feeding he/she has its urates before its actuall p00, and with that is the white gooey subsatce but this is also a fair amount of liquid. the smell is enough to pick up in another room. And hard to stand in the herp room.
Is this Normal?
Secondily this was a rescused boa and at first was very agressive, but has calmed down tremendsly and is practilly a new snake. When i recived him is was very mal-nurished and cold.
I have the temps at basking spot- 95 and cool 82 with the ambient air temp at around 86. Im using a 125 gal so it is very hard to keep humidity up so i use garbage bags on top with a humidifier in the tank, this puts the humidity up around 65%. Ever scence i got him he had a raspy or wheesing sound. I dont think it is because of RI becuase there is no sign on Nasel build up. I put the humidity up and i still hear it occasionaly
He hasnt defecicated in the tank yet becuase he will only go in water i have noticed, there fore i cannot tell if it is wet or dry
Am i stressin this too much, or is this normal??
Help would be apreaciated
