I think that kid is the OP because someone mature enough to have a kid will probably not be using the word "gay" as a derragatory comment.

[QUOTE=WingedWolfPsion;1133756]I hope the OP has fed the snake more than once since he posted all of this. If not, then it's not receiving a proper amount of food, either.
It's disturbing when a person feels the need to justify incorrect husbandry. If the snake is eating once a week, then the chances are it will be okQUOTE]

I have only had the BP in question for three weeks, I bought him and was told he wouldnt eat, had to be force fed.... Obviously due to the conditions the pet store had him in. I waited a week and he ate a small adult mouse with no hesitation..... yesterday, which is my feeding day, he ate a decent sized adult again with no problems so no indication that his husbandry is poor as far as that goes........

What is the problem here? Im interested in hearing what is wrong with that. They are not kept in the same enclosure....... Seem pretty up tight to be a snake keeper

If, however, one is new and there was no quarantine then there is the obvious disease transmission risk with the horrible spectre of IBD hovering in the background.

I have had the Boa for awhile, he is healthy...... Quarantine wasnt really possible so the only option I had was to keep them on seperate sides of the room.... Nothing bad so far...... Will keep fingers crossed
