And my girlfriend purchased a red tail boa

Yeah I was going to say, it was either security, temp issue or (and most likely) mites. I've never had a boa that is a soaker and female boas do not soak when gravid (just fyi)

I have not researched breeding them because I have no intentions of doing so. Thanks for the info. I am going on a mite killing spree tonight.
