how do i get my boa big fast without herting it

thats what he sed a rat did bit her so thats how i thank she died

Maybe there is contagion in the tank? If your first boa was ill and died, then there could be something still in the tank that can make your new snake sick.


Wait, sanitize and REAAAAALLY disinfect your tank, get the temp and humidity stable and in the right ranges, then go get a new friend.

So your boa got bit by a rat?

i just realized that this thred is still going on. i think from this point on you just need to read the care sheets front to back. ask a ton of questions. post all the pics your camera will take. and wait a few before jumping right back in to the fire.
this is one of the best care guides i have seen outside of a book. it has color pics and everythin http://www.redtailboas.com/general_c...eral_care.html
enjoy

A rat pup can't bite very hard :) sorry

I for one thing cant spell to save my life. I use a writing program on the computer with spell check. unless I'm in a hurry. Fatal try useing the writing program on your computer. that could really help you and us. we would get more of what you were saying and could possably help you better. I know how it is not being able to spell that well. and haveing very bad dislexya(sp?) on top of it. I just type out what I want to say on the writing program and then after the spell check I paste in on the forum. hope that helps with the spelling issue. :hug:

fatal,

i'm a little confused. you say you are looking for information and then whenever anyone gives you any you say you already know the answers and are doing everything right. :P

if you want information then perhaps writing a longer post, which better explains the situation would be beneficial. we all would love to assist you, in any way we can, so your next snake will be healthy and happy in it's new home as your pet.

in light,
aleesha

and just to assist you... this is what a 200 gallon tank looks like :) behind our 6 ft long couch! (and that's a 6" wide at the top clay pot in the tank)

the dimensions are: 6' x 2' x 29" high
