I need help :(
my baby boa is going on week 2 of regurges.
Ive had a fecal done and there is no parasites or anything els that the vet can see that would explain this behavior. She is a captive bread, i thought the was WC but i was incorrect.
Her warm side is 92*f, cool is 82*f and the ambient temp is 80*f. Humidity is 50%
these are all temperatures taken with accu-temp Digital gauges and a Thermal Gun.
Ive inspected her for mites she seems ok, i must have done this at leats 10 times, only because she is soaking her self.
the background on this issue is this:
I picked her up from the pet store, where she was fed after she arrived from shipping. she took fine. and pooped fine. (Arrival to pickup = 2 days)
1st feeding went fine or so i though, she ate it. like a champ. went into her warm hide and stayed there. the following day i came home to observe her soaking in her water dish. i didn't bother her and a few hours later was surprised with a regurge. So i decided to take a fecal in for testing and left her be.
second feeding time comes around. (5 days later) and she takes this fuzzie no contest. she was cruzing and appeared very hungry and took it very quickly. Same thing after. she retreated to her warm hide for the rest of the evening. then when i came home from work she was AGAIN soaking in her water dish which was followed promptly this time with a regurge.
so here i stand. 2 regurges, she is still drinking, and im getting worried. some how the soaking is related but im not sure what the issue is. she has pooped fine so she is not impacted. no parasites or bacterial infections that the vet can tell. and im 99% sure being captive bread she does not have IBD although she is being quarantined to be sure. she has not exhibited any signs of it.
she is in a rack. its closed off on 3 sides, and is in my bed room so low traffic. so im at a loss if this is stress related.
thanks for looking, please help
