Pictures Of My New Baby Ball

so what exactally is "Inclusion Body Disease" and whats the deal with this "stargazing" talk???? Im a little confused.

Well, im no expert on the subject but, its suposedly a very bad, very contagious incureable (i think) disease with snakes.Mostly boids

man ive only seen my girl climb on her log once and quickly got off of, shes not a very graceful climber.

about the stick on temp/humidity things, i foud it to be the opposite i went out and bought one because my humidity read 60% on the digital one when the stick on was reading only 40%. And i belive the temps were a little off too.

Yeah of course it was differnt, those stick on things suck !!

LOL you could mist down the whole cage and they dont change all that much. (at least the one i had didnt)

It's an incurable retro virus. It can spread to any snake in the boid family (I think it's family). That includes boas and pythons. It's one of those things that could wipe out all of the boas/pythons you owned.

Melissa Kaplan's wesite has some good information and a heartbreaking story on it about one owner's trouble with IBD.

I wouldn't worry about your snake though, exploring and searching around is prefectly normal :)

my BP's name is Monty to....

do u know why urs was named Monty by any chance?

We batted around a few names, and the wife made a point of saying "your snake.. you name him".. So I listed a few names I thought would be great:

Zeus
Thor
Vlad
Hiram
Jachin
Boaz
Solomon

And she opens his little card-board take-home-box and says "hi Monty!" and it just stuck we're both Huge Monty Python's Flying Circus Fans. We almost re-named him Brian until I said I'd put a shoe in the tank as a Hide.

just in case you wanna find that specific brand it's spelling is "Acu-Rite"... i wanted to look it up & i found that out... maybe my work will save you a couple minutes ;)

i found the stick on one to be more accurate actually. The digital one was saying 60% while during sheds it was a miricle to get any less then a thousand dry shed peices. When i got the sitck on and saw the true low readings she was shedding better ever since i swiched.
