MISSING / FOUND Columbian Red Tail Boa

[Swany]

Ok maybe I should have asked. Has he lost weight ? What condition is he in ?

[concinnusman]

Any chance we could see pics?

[msavary76]

Sure let me shoot some.

[msavary76]

I didnt want to disturb him while he was soaking. But here you go. If you need close up pic just let me know ill take him out and take better photos.

He looks healthy I would just feed regular schedule

[concinnusman]

Yeah, he's lean but doesn't look undernourished. Better than being obese like most boas/pythons I see.

Should i be dipping his food? I mean dipping it in Calcium?

[TeaNinja]

he looks fine to me :P my big 5.5+ft dum put off food for 6 or 7 months when it was around mating season, stubborn ******* lol. i don't see any reason to dip the rats in anything.

Nah, that stuff isn't really necessary unless you're feeding your herp a diet that is calcium deficient over a long period of time. If you're feeding a snake whole rodents then supplementing isn't necessary. (and could even cause problems if you overdo it) He's likely going to get all the calcium he needs from digesting bones.

Ok then i just continue feeding normally.

Nice!! That's an awesome feeling when you find your snake you have already given up on finding! Congrats! Glad it worked out in your favor!
