Hi everyone,
Just had some quick questions.
I just had my first vet visit with our juvenile, normal female bp. I originally made the vet visit because, every so often, I heard a pop while she breathed. No bubbles, drool, stargazing or any other symptom
The vet did a full check on her and quizzed me about the husbandry. She said she sounded just fine and, honestly, I haven't heard a pop in a few handlings (if that's an actual word hehehe). She gave me the container to get some feces for parasite testing which I will get as soon as she goes next.
She eats without hesitation and defecates routinely.
Anyone else experienced something like this?
Also, she's 22" and 191g .. the place we got her from believes she was hatched in July. Is this a normal size? She looks fine but she's my first snake... so I'm really paranoid hehehe
Oh and of course... being the character she is... I had her in a pillowcase that I would put down the front of my hoodie to take her from the car to the vet and vice versa... cuz this is Ottawa and it's -20 here (-4 F for you guys south of the border)... well on the way back.. as soon as I sat into the car... the smell overwhelmed me... she had p*ssed all over me. Nasty hahahaha
Got home and wiped her down before putting her back in the cage.
