Newly Adopted might have some scale rot?

Thank you for all the help. It definetley was a tremendous relief to know that she is healthy! She eats perfectly for me! Guy had her on chicks, but I put her back onto rats and she has eaten everytime for me. If I had the space for another big cage to put another one in for when they are adults, I would buy another one lol.

One more question. They guy I got her from says she is a Jungle. From what I have read it can be hard for someone new to boas to completely tell. She said she is 100% for jungle offspring. But I cannot really tell a difference between a normal and Jungle yet.

The information from who you bought the boa from is slighting confusing and possibly misleading. The jungle genetic trait is a co-dominant mutation, meaning you can't be "100% for jungle." When percentages are used that's for homozygous recessive traits, and the percentage denotes the likelihood that the gene for that mutation is passed on to subsequent offspring. With a co dominant trait like jungle, they carry one dominant allele for the trait and thus would pass this on to 50% of their offspring. I would have to see the tail to see if the boa does in fact carry the mutation at all.

Sorry this is such a late response, new puppy has had attention lately haha. Anyways, I figured when I learned the original owner didn't have a thermostat and her tank smelled pretty bad. Anywho, thank you for the info on the traits. Here is some pics of her to see if anyone can further tell if she even has anything in her. I'm going to assume she is just a normal though lol.

Nice common BCI, no jungle there.

Yeah, that's what I had figured once he informed me of the way the Jungle trait works in boas. I'm still learning about types of boas.
