Red tail boa question

Thank you Cassandra. I found another "piece" in his water dish this morning. I am going to weigh him Sat or Sun and decide whether to visit the vet on Mon. If he does it again before then I will bag it and take it with me.

I know keeping bagged poo in your fridge is kind of a gross thought, but I think if bag it up while it's still "fresh", it can be viable for like a fecal float or whatever other fun things vets like to do with poo the next day, so it never hurts. =)

I just wish I had thought of it when it was fresh!

He is moving around some and changing sides. He usually hung out on the hot side.
I did have him out Sat and he was very active then after 15 mins settled down a curled up and just looked around. Still reluctant to go home.
I have a couple frozen fuzzy mice I will try for his first feed next weekend. That will be 2 weeks and 2 days. Thanks, Debbie

Hehe, that never goes away...hate to come out, hate to go back in. I AM BOA!

In spite of this problem I am so lucky to have found such a mellow, outgoing RTB. I named him Deuce because he was my second snake. My first snake, a BP named George, is the sweetest thing too. I have mistakenly picked him up in blue and during a shed and he was still sweet. So far I don't have a reason not to try another snake which is going to be another RTB. It is on a back burner for a few months until I am sure Deuce is in the clear now. There was 4 months between the BP and RTB.
