saved a sick Argentine boa

[kuester]

I will try to find it thank you

Hows the boa doing any updates?

[kuester]

Personally i think he/she is doing much better but won't know for sure until Monday when the 2 week check up is scheduled. He/she has eaten for me and is now going into shed.

Good signs, and good luck -- please do keep us posted!

[kuester]

Thank you and i will

[kuester]

The vet thinks we're going to be a-okay! Only time will tell because he was thrashing too much to get blood drawn but the heart and lungs sound good and inside of mouth and throat are clear!

[bigsnakegirl785]

Good news! Maybe next time he'll cooperate better.

[Snakesitter]

Good news indeed! Again, congrats!

[kuester]

Thanks i just cleaned his cage with mostly water a tiny bit of bleach and isopropyl alcohol, rinsed then with 5% acidity white vinegar then wipe rinsed and dry. I have a fan blowing into the cage. Any idea when i can start setting it up?

[prairiepanda]

I usually leave mine for about an hour, but if they still smell like vinegar then I leave them until the smell goes away.

[kuester]

It smelled like bleach more than anything so i left it for a full 24 hours before putting FAUSTINO(decided on a name its a Spanish word that the Argentinians use it means lucky or good fortuned) back in his new enclosure. He seemed very intrigued i dont think hes ever had bedding in his life only carpet....

Faustino! Fantastic name! He certainly is lucky glad to hear he's doing better!
