She ate last Friday and Yesterday (Tuesday). 1 hopper both times, though I tried to give her 3. Still learning her eating habits. I think the herptivite has too strong of a smell 'cause even very lightly or internally placed she wouldn't take those fuzzy hoppers. I thought the vitamins would be good since she was malnourished. She had no problem eating the 1 without. She seems okay, her tank is warm and I have a humidifier next to her, her skin is starting to look better though her next shed will tell.

I think what my bf and I are gonna do is give it a few months, make sure she's eating and happy, get her a little meatier to normal weight, then take her to another vet visit. If there is still a heart problem, then there is. We're good pet owners and animal lovers and she'll have a good life with us however long that might be.

The vet said we'd be looking at multiple daily oral medications. I think that compromises a quality of life thing and can be traumatic. I wouldn't go in that direction.

Yea there were a couple red flags with this vet, I will probably get a second opinion in a few months. They told me she was very weak. She does have a gentle touch, but I remember.... I lived in Tucson, AZ for a while and there are a lot of reptile enthusiasts there. We bought a couple books from local reptile stores and breeders on different types of snakes and the guy who literally wrote the book on the boa constrictor worked as a Reptile Specialist, a vet, in Tucson. He became our primary for our snakes. I tremendous being scared about muscle weakness in our last Ball Python. He took his pinky finger put it just above the anal scales and lifted her up. She coiled and coiled herself upwards to wrap around more. He said "When a snake can't do this, they fall or can't continue to lift themselves, that's muscle weakness. As long as they can do this you're okay." My new little piebald, malnourished as she is, can do that no problem, multiple times.

I'll post some pictures soon. Thanks guys so much for all the comments (I'm still working on a name for her!)
