Weird Behavior

My BCC has been spending all his time on the cold side of the tank lately. The Temps are where they should be so I don't know what he is doing. He is holding his head and about 8" of his body upright against the glass. Is this a personality thing or is something going on?

What are the temps on the warm side? How often is he fed? Sounds like he may be hungry. Ruby does the same thing when, she just cruises around the cool side like shes looking for food. Good luck

The temp on the hot side is 92. I just fed him monday but he regurged it, so I am waiting til next week to feed him.

I think I'd be more worried about the regurge than his hanging around the cool side. How old is he, and has he regurged before (recently)?

He is fairly young, maybe 23" in length. He regurged two weeks ago as well. But that was the day after I moved him into a new enclosure, so I thought nothing of it.

Sounds like it's time for a vet visit. Bring a fecal sample if you can...

Yeah, I think you're right. But is there anything else I can do for the time being?

This may be a weird question, but do you use digital thermometers or the analog guages? Sometimes the analogs can be off by a few degrees, and it may be too hot for the snake.. I would double check temps with another thermometer to make sure the one I had wasnt faulty..
It could be stress..I dont know how you are set up, but if he is somewhere there is quite a bit of traffic, you might cover the tank, or move him.
Since he's regurged 2ce, I would probably go on and see the vet.

Wait a about 2-3 weeks after a regurge now.

Alright, weird question; are you feeding him FT? I had this same problem with my daughter's snake. The mice I was feeding her (FT) were blowing up during the de-thawing stage without my knowing...internal. It was a bad batch. She regurged for a couple weeks before I figured it out. Just curious...btw; I would definitely still bring him to the vet, just in case.

what is the temp on the cool side?? sould be around 80. what type of cage is it in. if the snake is new a trip to the vet is a must. take some poo along with ya so the vet can test for parasites.

i would not be to worried about the hole hanging out on the cold side thing. as long as the temp is in the low 80s it is no problem. i have about 20 boas now and about 10 of them aloways seem to be on the cold side. every time i walk in the room. i would feed pre killed for a while just for about 2 months just to get the guts rolling again. and if you are having trouble with regurg i would feed a food item that is half the size of the widest part of your snake. baby boas are usually eating machines. so you should have no problem getting the apatite back soon.

i am in san diego so if you need any help give me a buzz or IM me for my phone #. best of luck with you lil baby.

Ya, what he said.....

If it was fed FT then it could just be a bad meal. In my observations of males in my collection, they tend to like to hang out on the cooler sides anyway.

If it were to happen again, a fecal would be a must. There are many factors that could cause the re-gurge, parasites, stress, hanging out in a too cool section, etc.

You said BCC - what you descibed sounds like a Guyana Boa?
