    Unhappy New boa owner, and I've got some questions

    Okay, I'll start by saying I have a BP and I wanted something that got a bit bigger. So I did my research for three months and I finally got my female BCI about a week ago. She is just a baby, maybe a month or two old. Now I took her to my local reptile vet first thing for a health check. She got a clean bill of health on Thursday. Now I took her out of her enclosure today and she seems to be making popping sounds. I checked her her mouth and no excess mucus. Ever since I first got her though she seems to hold her head up ALL the time unless she is resting in her enclosure. Is that normal? I'm thinking about taking her back to the vet tomorrow.

    Side note I'm a huge worrier! I just need some help going in the right direction on this!!! Any advice would be super appreciated.

    Cage temp on warm side is 82 ambient with 90-94 hot spot.
    On the cool side it stays about 75f
    Humidity is between 50-70% usually sits around 60%
    She ate a pinky rat on Thursday.
    Heat source is a 100 watt heat bulb on a tstat.
