Madagascar Ground Boa

[SnakeCollector]

I just got a 9 month old Dums Boa from an expo. I gave her a couple days to get used to his new in closer. But every time i try to handle her she acts fine but then she will pee/poop/musk on me. What should I do?

give her a few days to calm down in her new enviroment. post some pics of her and size. how much did u pay if you dont mind me asking? i just got one a month ago. shes about 22 inches and 130 grams

Aren't dums different from Madagascar ground boas ?

[nick654377]

yeah but if you look at his post he says dums boa. maybe i misunderstood what he ment. His title says ground boa. I know they are two differnt snakes. thats why i also asked for pics of his snake :p

Give it a chance to settle in, let it eat at least once if not twice before even attempting to handle it. Also double check your temps and humidity just to be sure :)

It's advised to give a new herp at least a week to settle in before handling it. Everything has just changed, and handling it will only freak it out more, hence this response.
