We just picked up another moonglow boa, about 3 weeks ago, at the MidAtlantic Reptile shie. We're told he's about 1yr old. We have a super moonglow who is also 1yr. The breeder said they're from the same clutch. Either that, or just born the same time. Well, she's about 4ft & he's about 1ft & as thick as my thumb. The breeder said he's that small from being on the road & not fed as often. Fair enough.
Our concern is he's showing signs of IBD. He ate the 1st day (about 3 weeks ago) & has shown no interest since. He's gone into shed but what's come off was in pieces. We've had to soak him & start to remove the rest. The most alarming part is he's tolting his head backwards & twisting it around (like Stevie Wonder). I've also noted some "star gazing" signs but wasn't totally sure if it's just bc he's out of his enclosure & curious. Last night, he was very lethargic during handling. We're getting him to the vets asap but I wanted to ask on here. Until last night, I had no udea about this disease. I have a video clip but need to get it uploaded.
