Boa Question -help!!
Hi,
I just got my first snake in about 10 years, used to keep alot of snakes., but I seem to have forgotten alot about care and health.
My boa, (about 4 years old, 5 ft. long) for the first 6 weeks, mostly basked over top of the heat pad, pretty normal behavior..
I fed her frozen thawed 4 days ago, she only ate one medium mouse of the 3 she normally does, and basically, ever since, shes been hiding in the clay planter I use for her hide box, hasn't come out. (shes never done this after eating before)
I moved it last night, just t see if she looked okay, and she was PISSED! (again, probably normal) I left the room ,an hour later, she was back in the planter. Its not over the heat source, but the tank heat varies from about 82-84 by the heat pad, to 77 or so on the other end. Is her hiding for days on end okay, or should I be concerned.
She shed last week.. It wasn't as solid as usual. thats about the only other unusual thing.
HELP!!
