Hello there, I am writing on behalf of a friend.
Tonight her Boa died, it had eaten a rat and regurgetated it half digested. There are no signs of mites or parasites and the temps and humidity are fine.
My friend is concerned as it showed the symptoms of IBD or menengitis but it was approx 3 years old and hasnt been anywhere near another snake.
Please could anyone suggest what it may have been please?
She also keeps a Rankins Dragon which she is getting checked out at the vets just to be on the safe side but my friend is very upset and would really like to know if anyone could suggest what could have harmed the snake. Could it of been the rat?
Please help, any help here is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hazel

It could be a multitude of things that caused it, the only sure fire way was to have a necropsy done after it died.

Hmmm...Sorry to hear that.
The best way to know for sure is to take the snake to the vet and have an autopsy performed on it. The food could have been the final nail, although the only way to be 100% sure is to get it looked at by a vet and or a lab.

welcome to RTB! after feeding the snake did it get handled right away? you really want to hold off from handling for a few days right after feeding. it's kinda like going on a roller coaster right after thanksgiving dinner. thats the only thing I can think of with out knowing anything else. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img] . -Juggalo
