FAVOR!

Boas can have IBD their entire life and never show signs. That's why it is very dangerous to have Boas and Ball pythons housed in the same room. Pythons get it and die within weeks, and boas just carry it and can live a long full life. Sometimes it affects them, sometimes it doesn't.

thats part of it. i need to know if it does. i aint gonna risk it and keep it with my BP in my room. so right now im waiting to see what my dad says and seeing if i can put it somewhere. pretty sure i can though. the feeding part is probly stress. when you said history of RIs, did you mean just one or multiple? and do you know if they were easily caught? do you have any idea of why she aint eating? and if i got the tank, would the lights/heat come with it?

hey, im really sry. after thinking about it, there is no way i can take it. i dont wanna risk IBD in my BP and the only other place i could put it is my basement, which is to cold, and hard to keep the temps. im sry and i hope everything goes well. i do want a bci thought, just later on down the road

If you want a good home for your snakes, give Northern Virginia Reptile Rescue a call. They are AWESOME.

I tried to adopt a ball python from them, and got rejected. They said that they had a few other inquiries on them from people who had way more experience and all than I. They don't mess around when it comes to adoptions.

They also quarantine ALL of the rescues for a period of time to ensure that they are healthy. I think that the only animals that they have euthanized are giant burmese pythons (its self explanatory why). Take a look around their site. All of the snakes that are out of quarantine get a home shortly after they are ready for adoption. Like I said, when I tried to adopt one, they said they have ## others also applying to adopt the same animal.

Also, I am not sure what your financial situation is, but I'm sure that with a moderate donation, they could keep your snakes as a display for the time that you are overseas. Just talk to them on the phone, they are very friendly.

Hey one of the ladies from Boxturtle.org was at Dr Stahl's today when I went in to drop off Ozzys sample.
She had some rescues in there seeing the vet.
Look like great people and take their rescues to one of the best repitle vets on the east coast so can't be to shabby
