    Re: Spider troubles - paranoia?

    Not IBD, I've never owned a boa and never will just for that reason, and he's had that wobble for a few months now. He's still eating and everything, despite missing his last meal. Just a crazy wobble that's picked up with age. At my work (zoo) there's a boa, but I only ever go near it to feed him, and when I get home I shower, wear clean clothes, and use hand sanitizer before going into any of the rooms that have snakes in them.

    I even keep my sneakers outside for fear of giving my cat worms from pooh I've stepped in.

    Heat pad is hooked up to a thermostat, hot spot never goes over 92 degrees. I don't use a second hide, just cuz he's in a rack system, and doesn't really need one because it's always dark... I took him out to sit on my desk for this video, because I shot it with my computer cam (only cam I have) and I couldn't hold it over the tub from his height without dropping my laptop.

    Ambient temp is 83-85 depending on time of day, cool spot is 79, 80.

    I dunno.. maybe because he's on empty he looks skinny, but compared to the ball pythons I've seen he looks like a noodle. I know he's not desperately skinny but I can't help but feel like he's too small in gurth
