Scared for my boa

[Snakesitter]

Dinosaur, I’m glad to hear your big girl has a clear route to recovery. Chemical poisoning fits the symptoms and speed of onset of this case much better. As another poster noted, snakes are tough, and I hope she will make a full recovery for you and enjoy many years of pampering.

BTW, if she was exposed, your male may have been too, and while he is not showing symptoms (snakes are masters at hiding illness), you should have him tested as well. That way you can flush his system of the probably more minor exposure, too, if needed -- before any long-term damage is caused. Better safe than sorry. :-)



Dinosaur, best of luck to you. And do get that male tested for safety.
