new boa into rescue today, no open wounds but major scarring, no tail (lost an inch passed cloaca...




she is approx. 6-7 ft in legnth, girthy but not as fat as some I have seen.
Vet tommorow,
was fed live, unsexed and had a hot rock! (I really hate those things), former owners claim the tail "slumped" off with a shed two years ago. There is a bacterial infection where the muscular system becomes necrotic from the inside out (I beleive it is bacterial), but I haven't seen it for 4 years, so I need to do more reading.
Anyhow
Just thought I'd share.
Thanks
Rusty
