Bloated Sand Boa

[Bogertophis]

Update!

Cairo is doing great! He is completely back to normal.

I fed him a newborn pinky rat last Wednesday, which he took with great enthusiasm! He defecated normally a few days later. When I checked in on him last night, he gripped me tightly with his back end! No weakness or difficulty moving through my fingers!

I am quite relieved! I wish I knew what it was, but I am so glad to see him back to his normal self.

I can only hazard a guess...maybe he had a "back-ache"? Maybe even from "growing pains"? Snakes have a long spinal column & unfortunately they cannot tell us what they're feeling...we can only deduce it by their behavior, including what goes in & what comes out. ("I & O")
