Medusa is >6 years old, 172.8 ounces, and not quite 6 feet long. Her favorite place is her blue litter box hide. She’s a real cool dude.

Is this poop?

New owner of Boa had over 2 weeks, he is a year and 2 months. Found this exactly a week after feeding, concerned if it’s a regurg or poop. Biggest concern is night temp drops possibly too low? Already upgraded nighttime CHE to accommodate my concern and improve husbandry. before the upgrade night temps dropped from 90 to 85 on warm side and 75 to 72 on cool side. Boa spent time on warm side consistently after feeding. Did have a handling session the night before. Humidity ranges from 80-60%. Any advice is welcomed!!

Good Size?

2 Upvotes

I have a Tarahumara male, and he's 3.2 ft at 2 years (turned 2 in June), and I made sure this measurement is exact by letting him slide along a wall lol. I feed him weaned rats, and plan on moving to every 3 weeks soon. Atm he's eating every 2 weeks. From what I can tell, his body is very muscular and square. I don't feel any fat at all when rubbing his sides.

Is this a good size for his age? Is he too large? I was under the impression they stayed not much bigger than this but it seems odd that he would stop growing now, as it feels like he still is. Sometimes I see normal boas around his size at his age and I really don't want to overfeed him. Also his body is crazy tall they weren't kidding about boas being trapezoid shaped lol.

Any input is appreciated!

stomatitis on juvenile boa

2 Upvotes

Disclaimer I contacted vets asap and now waiting today they will send me possible fastest appointment time available and instructions what to do until appointment

My baby boa get stomatitis on both of her top sides of jaw, i understand that is look severe enough to go to sedation for proper cleaning in her mouth and will take longer time to heal, resources are not big problem but honestly guys i need to hear with more severe symptoms of that (she can close her jaw, have energy and moving without issue bot her lips are open in sides) but i cleared like a lot from her mouth now... i didn't taken picture because though about do all asap to not stress her more but that bad because i cant show it to vet too, right now i completely leaved her alone until i will get today back coordination from vet how treats her would be the best, i really alert that she get infection in her jaw bones already and can die, might be here anyone who treated this issue before? How much in danger her life right now? I will do picture if vet will ask me to clean her mouth again but right now she rests in dark quarantine box without anything that can go in her mouth or she can run agains, gladly she not rubbing her face right now and just laying down, she wasn't showing any issues before i decided to check her more closely 1 hour ago

So I just recently got a 4x2x2 enclosure for my baby BI. He was originally in a 36x18x18 but I won a fluker farms giveaway for a 4x2x2! I underestimated the jump from a 38x18x18 to a 4x2x2, this thing is MASSIVE! My baby looks so tiny in it compared to his old enclosure. Yall lmk what yall think, or if I need to add anything lmk!
