Sorry, I just read some of the latest stuff in this thread and apologize that I have not followed the whole thread. Tommy Carpenter and Vin Russo advice is to be followed over anything I've stated.
The boa looks great to me from the photos you've posted.
I hope all turns out as it should. Reptiles can be very strange and there isn't an overabundance of studies on them.
Thanks for at least looking at my post, but I think you are a few steps ahead of my comments.
Best of luck and I'll try to stay more current.
The retic forum was my stomping ground for a while. That's over now and I'm back to the areas I enjoy most. Boas and carpets.
Keep the updates coming.
All good brother.
Sorry things didn't work out retic wise, but glad to have you back with us Boa and Carpet lovers!
