hadiya was W/C gravid. I made a mistake in not checking out all the information on her before buying her. After she laid her eggs she was suddenly covered in ticks. I've tried everything, and just got my shipment in for prevent a mite and will be doing that tonight. I don't have a weight on her yet, but she is big, nearly 5 feet long.
she is set up in a glass tank, three sides covered, water dish in the middle big enough for her to soak, hides on both sides (the only ones I have found she will even use are cardboard boxes turned upside down with a hole cut in it). Her hot side is at 90ish degrees, her cool side is 85ish. Humidity is 60%. She is on newspaper on the bottom as a recommendation to not give the ticks a place to hide. The top of the tank is covered with plexi glass except where the light is. She is in a low traffic area of the house, quarentined from the other snake I have.
I have a vet appointment on friday to take her in, I can't get a fecal sample because she won't poop for me
My friend has been telling me to force feed my snakes for a while. the one time my snake didn't eat for a month she was jumping on me to try. i wasn't comfortable with it, and i didn't let her. Bobo went back to eating normally after a month so i wasn't worried. Now she wants to force feed Hadiya and telling me i'm going to waste my money on the vet. I'd rather waste the money and have the vet tell me i'm paranoid than stress out an already unhappy snake.
