Hello,
This seemed like the only forum I could find to post a question like this, so here goes.
I own a Hogg Island Boa. He's about 4-4 1/2 feet long, age unknown, but young. He's been an absolute doll for the past several months, but today he made a drastic change.
I opened his cage to pull him out and take some pictures. I lifted up his log like i always do, and went to reach for him. When I did that, he hissed!! he hissed at me and took up a striking pose. even when my roomate tried to get him, he did the same thing. He looks like he might be ready to shed soon, but he's never shown this kind of agression before, even when shedding. He hasn't eaten in a week and a half, but he's gone longer without food (two weeks) with no probem. Does anyone ahve any idea what's going on? He looks healthy to me...maybe I'm wrong?
I've attached a couple of pictures that I took today.
Thankyou!!
