BP not Eating

[Bogertophis]

ok, im new you can all laugh at me, but what is "VIV"?

I'm not laughing- you shouldn't be afraid to ask an honest question & some of these abbreviations do easily cause confusion, especially for a new keeper. Thank you for reminding us.

Incidentally, the worst abbreviation here that I can think of is "PAM", as when people are discussing the treatment of snake mites. Just so you know, that's NOT the oily cooking spray they're talking about, & I fear that some have actually tried that on their poor snakes. "PAM" is short for a pesticide product to kill mites called "Provent-A-Mite".
