    Brazilian Rainbow Boa Respiratory Rate w/video

    Just wondering if it's rate is too fast... I'm a respiratory therapist so I might just be hyper-focusing. TIA
    Here is the link to the video... PS, It's only been home for 4 days. It ate 2 days ago and had a full (one piece) shed 2 days ago as well... As far as I can tell I have the temps and humidity where they need to be.

    It doesn't seem like it is in distress. If it is breathing clearly I don't think you have an issue. The snake is new to your home and I would still be leaving it alone to let it settle in. Im sure it was just a bit excited taking in all the new surroundings.

    Well, by being in your hand and the fact that its a young animal will all increase the respiratory rate. Is it abnormal or excessive? I don't really think so. Nice looking animal.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
