Thanks for the tips!

The longer you keep snakes, the easier it gets to spot the signs. Before their eyes even get cloudy, I can often see a texture difference on their...

Didn't think of shed cycle! I'll be sure to keep a close eye on her, watching if she goes into blue. Otherwise, going to keep handling down to a...

:gj: Eating & growth always outranks handling. Handling commonly puts snakes off eating- or maybe she's going into a shed cycle that she can feel...

I'd have to agree w/ Armiyana on this- those look like old healed scars to me (from scraping something, most likely) - I'm not seeing anything that...

Just to add because of some of your replies (I really appreciate them - thank you) I clean her viv every week and give her fresh water. She lives...

Yay another older BP~ My oldest boy is also around that age. He moved to California with me as a smol little guy in 2000 As far as your girl.......

If I had to guess, I'd say that looks like a fungal infection, but that's just a guess. Kudos for getting your girl to 23 years, and a rescue at...

Offered her food last night and she struck once, coiled, and then dropped it. Offered again, she didn't strike. Left the mouse in over night and she...

Hey, you there! are you an ASF breeder? Are you interested in taking it up a notch? Listen up, earlier today I stumbled upon a company's site...

I love those little dwarf lilacs, great smell and not as big as the other lilacs(syringa) you really have some awsome irises in your collection ...

2 More Iris Photos + 1 Lilac Bush (w/Leopard Pastel Het Axanthic)

A lotta good thoughts/info here. Although I'll maybe by not making feeding predictable for us, it may make beneficial for our snakes as well. One...

Oh boy, all I can say is that anyone who's never had times like this just hasn't lived long enough- because sooner or later, things just have a way...

I do a couple things that cause slightly erratic schedules. One of them is that I hate wasting food and it seems like when you have as many as I...

Keep us posted and hang in there. We are thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and energy. Sounds like you are doing the best you can...

I kind of have a system with my two colubrids where if even one of them is in shed, the feeding day is either postponed or outright skipped to next...

Mine enjoyed snuggling around my waist while I watched movies- and in the winter time (when my house was 70* ambient) I'd also use a heating pad with...

Pythons are ambush predators. They sniff out a trail and hide themselves alongside it to wait for prey to come along. Then, they launch a surprise...

Haha, yeah! I was originally planning on getting a male but then realized they usually stick to smaller range (6'-7'). After handling a larger boa, I...

You sound like a fine boa-owner to me- :D The only BCI (a female) I've had grew to just about 8'- but it depends on genetics (many do outgrow their...

I feel like she'll do well, her disposition is great. We'll see though, she's CERTAINLY much more bold than my BP. Not headshy, about and about,...

I wouldn't worry about moving her again to her adult enclosure when it's ready- ALTHOUGH, moving this time into the 10 gal. should be very predictive...

Great! I hate seeing her so cramped. After she's out of quarantine (She will be around 11 months old, she is 7 months old now), would it be okay to...

Since we're talking about a BCI & not a BP- I think the move would be fine as you described above. Boas aren't nearly as shy as BPs are- but once...
