Trying to help a friend
My wife's friend obtained a bp from the same store i did about the same time at about the same size. She recently called for advice about her snake. It would only eat once a month and was shedding like a lizard in sections. She asked if I could take it for a little while and see if I could help. I got the snake last night and was horrified to see the condition. It is very obviously underfed and dehydrated. This snake is at best 1/2 the size of my bp of similar age. It was being kept in a 29 whick seems humongus for this size snake with enough heat to maybe heat a 10 gallon. I decided it would be best to switch tanks to a 15 with better heat and humidity and let it be for a day or two before I try to start feeding. It has some skin spots left from it's last shed so I think a swim may be in order. I have her at aroung 60% humidity and 86F on the hotside, 79F in the cool. I am gonna try and soak her tomorrow and feed later tomorrow night.
Any suggestions other than what I am trying?
