Can you tell us what his enclosure is like? Temps? Humidity? What are you feeding him?

sammylou89 · 08-11-13, 12:16 AM

He is in a terrarium atm with him being so small the temps are all as they should be on the cool side and warm side and the humidity seems fine I mist the terrarium as well I have been trying him on pinkies we didn't expect him to survive after his mum rolled him he was very lethargic and had no coordination he has improved but still hasn't shed or ate

I don't know two month old snakes are supposed to look like this, but it looks a bit dried out to me.

But nice looking boa. Any idea what kind of bci it is? It's patterning looks unique.

I thought that myself but I have been bathing him and misting the viv he has always been like that but has not lost any weight

sammylou89 · 08-11-13, 01:18 AM

I can't remember what his parents are tbh I had him off a friend who told he wasn't going to survive so I took him

sammylou89 · 08-11-13, 01:19 AM

That's so you can see his size

Could you get a picture using the flash so we could see it better?

As far as not eating Shaunyboy on here had a baby carpet go 8 or 9 months straight out of the egg without eating.

Ok yeah no problem I will get a pic tonight when I get in from work :-)

Has he shed since he was born? Looks kinda funny in the second pic..

sammylou89 · 08-11-13, 10:57 AM

No he hasn't shed he was acting very feisty tonight tho which is unlike him he was striking at me and actually seemed to show interest when I offered the pinky I have left it I'm there with him I hope he does shed or something soon seems wrong
