My new (and first!) Boa - questions...

[waltah!]

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I finally got my first snake ever. I've been planning on this for a while now, and I was going to get a ball python, but I ended up being drawn to this beautiful baby female Het Albino Boa, and decided to just go with my gut feeling on this one.

And boy, do I love this snake!... I'm actually doing the best I can to control myself and leave her alone so she can get acclimated to her new home... otherwise i'd be behaving like an overly-smothering mamma bear

Two days ago I gave her her first thawed out fuzzie to eat, and she ate it no problem. However, she didn't strike at it, but just started devouring it... is this normal because the prey is dead? For the most part I'm just glad that she is eating, which must mean she is happy enough in her new home.

She hasn't defecated yet though, and it has been two days. Is this normal? How long does it take on average for a baby boa to digest one small meal like that?

And lastly, her eyes turned blue a few days ago, so I guessed she was going to shed soon... however now her eyes are back to normal, and she hasn't shed yet. Is it still going to happen?

I'm making sure that throughout all of this I haven't been handeling her at all or stressing her out so that she can get acclimated, digest, and shed in peace

Firstly, congrats on your first snake! Very nice looking little boa. She may only defecate every week or two, so two days is nothing. If her eyes turned blue and they are back to normal she will probably shed for you tomorrow (guess). Way to go with not handling her and letting her get acclimated. It's tough to leave them alone, especially your first.
Have fun!
