Boo grew!
I was measuring my 18 month old boa and decided to measure Boo seeing as though he hasnt been measured in awhile and man did he grow!! When I rescued him back at the end of Sept he was about 6'6....now he's 7 '3!! And getting fatter! LOL
The dreaded abcess is starting to fill up on his face again...so back to the vet we go (AGAIN!!)
By the way the 18 month old boa is 4 ft 5 inches now!  |

What is causing the abcess?

It's an infection of some sort that's in his sinus cavity and eye. He's been to the vet a number of times and had surgery twice but it keeps coming back.
You would never know that he's really THAT sick by the way this guy packs the rats in and he's still the most mellow snake I've ever met! And he has perfect sheds besides! I can't ask for a better snake, now can I?
Well, I could ask for a snake that didn't have an abcess I suppose! lol
I'll pass on the well wishes....thanks! |
