ok i apologise i just do not need people coming off as abrasive. about your question the scale came off yes i have a piece left i think no fat on it. the stones are sandstone maybe not sandstone but abrasive enough to help with shedding. i was estimating the temp of the uth's because i had the thermometer at the top of the tank. yes my father has a temp gun. we are going to walmart saturday to pick up a digital thermometer. we will have to pick up paper towels because all my father has is mechanic cloth and thats blue and greasy.
i will try to get ahold of the vet tomorrow and find out if i can email him pictures.
i think getting a boa this summer just went down the drain. oh well there's always next year. i will try to get better pics of the spot on his back
