My Vet Visit...

[sneak]

Well, I took my boa to the vet on Friday because she regurged a rat last Monday. I've only had her for two weeks, and I thought I might as well get her in for a check up.

Anyway, I had to give her a name at the Vet's office, so I told them her name was Trixie...LOL. Well, the vet checked her all out, and said everything was fine except that she was a little bit on the thin side. I wasn't able to take in a fecal sample because she hasn't left me anything yet. The vet told me the probable reason she regurged the rat was because it might have been too big. Also, he told me my enclosure probably was the problem. The set up he told me to use was an aquarium with a screen top with a heat lamp of 97-102 degrees on the basking side. I thought that was too hot, but he told me that is fine. Oh, well, I said, then I asked him how soon I can feed Trixie, and he told me anytime. I figured I should wait for at least two weeks or so. Keep in mind it was only 5 days after she regurged.

I'm just glad she's fine, and I'll take the fecal in when she does it for me. So far, she's still in her rubbermaid. I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys and gals on what you thought of this experience. Thanks.
