Re: Red tail boa
Probably because he has a respiratory infection....... Get him to the vet stat because it can kill him.

Re: Red tail boa
He doesn't want to eat because he's sick. Get the R.I. under control first then try feeding. What are your temp and humidity?

I was just about to ask that.

After the snakey gets meds a week with temps a little higher than usual will help him fight off the infection even more.

Re: Red tail boa
The guy I got him from the living conditions were awful and he was feeding him rabbits. The reason why he won't eat rats also is because is he gotten used to rabbits?

Bcc are a little more unforgiving in errors so thats good.

Re: Red tail boa
Your temps are way too low. Also there is nothing wrong with feeding rabbits.

How do you measure your temps and humidity how do you control them?
