Help.. something wrong with my boa??
Hello,
I have a beautiful 3 year old BI. He has been healthy and active with good appetite since I've owned him.
I made a huge mistake the a couple days ago and now something seems wrong with him!
I left him unsupervised for a few minutes and he found a hole in the wall in my poorly built apartment. He spent about 20 hours in the drywall before I figured out how to get him out.. through much banging and sawing and ripping up drywall. Obviously this was stressful and traumatic for him... And me.
I got him out and his scales were a little roughed up but he wasn't clearly hurt and he seemed normal (active, flicking his tongue, drinking water) Although he was clearly a bit stressed and tense.
It's been about 30 hours since I got him out and he is curled up in the corner of his tank not flicking his tongue. I'm afraid to grab him because I don't want to stress him out but he looks weird. I touch him and can feel him shift just a little bit but he is not moving his head or flicking his tongue. Wouldn't flick his tongue at a rat either. Seems incredibly unusual.
Might the drywall/dust given him an RI or maybe I couldn't tell and he actually is really hurt?!
I know, I already feel like a terrible owner but I'm scared and would love any input you guys have.
Thanks in advance
