Regurgitating Rainbow Boa!!! - Page 7

Now let's get down to the brass tacks.

What are the temps? What is the humidity? How do you measure the temps? How do you heat the enclosure? What is it being housed in? How often are you in the room?

Lots of people "rescue" animals just to put them into sub standard living conditions. We see it all the time so don't get all uppity as there is obviously a problem. If it was me I would rather it be my husbandry than some unknown illness that could kill my whole collection.

It's interesting how some people take everything some stranger on the internet writes about them as some horrendous insult. Really people? This is the internet, deal with it.

They probably shouldn't have been shown it to begin with.

I still stand by probiotics in reptiles, I also still say most reptile vets are useless. Usually are dog/cat vets with a course of reptiles. you have to search long and hard to find one with a special interest in herpetology. Most keepers know more then just a course worth.Infact just recently had a boa to the vet where she asked fi she could test my male boa for ovum, and told me if he refused a meal he could die quickly. ??? seriously?? I almost walked out at that point lol I still also say that reptiles can regurge from other issues other then husbandry. and again also believe that continual regurge can be habit forming. At which point a solution other then checking temps is needed lol Nicole your welcome to pm me or find me on facebook to chat anytime

I still think you should try it yourself before advising it, as you yourself admit you have no experience trying it, and the wrong doses and wrong type could cause more issues than they "help".
The only reasons a snake would generally regurge, is husbandry, stress, a meal too large to digest quick enough before it starts to decompose and cause issues, or an underlying health issue like impaction, internal parasites etc. Habit forming i don't buy into, a healthy snake with no issues in the correct environment without any stress shouldn't continue to regurge just because it has done it a few times before.

I'd agree that most vets aren't that clued up with reptiles, the fact that this vet just wormed the snake without actually doing any fecal tests it seems, and the fact that they went straight to tube feeding nutrients which is extremely stressful as it is, but if there is an underlying issue forcing food into the snake isn't going to do anything other than encourage it to regurge that aswell, tells me they aren't the best reptile vets around.

First off if you have a baby BRB the humidity can't be between
50-70 it has to be between 85-90 .. There
Baby's .. They need it the most .. I think
Its the temps .. More humidity

I tend to allow people opinions/words get me going too much when really it doesn't really matter. It just doesn't feel great when people are trying to make you out to be stupid person/or that your husbandry is not 100 And I still feel like Aaron is a bit challenging to everyone on here and now me , you were really nice when you were pming me pervy messages....

mykee Ive seen you around lurking else where on the net and I believe you have quite a bit of experience, still a bit of jerk :P I did find what you said funny but in the heat of the moment it just pissed me off more

Im just done with this, you do you and all do me I think Ill just stick to lurking here

lol you go against the science of what you believe in. Maybe you'll make a breakthrough.

I challenged you because you were wrong. Plain and simple. I've stated before I had no issue with you personally and then you decided to challenge my knowledge. Also, don't go making our private conversation out to be more than it is since it was about a topic in another thread.
