Good luck, and let everyone know how it goes!

Reddog · 09-24-13, 02:15 PM

The vet said she's fine yes!!! She said it looks like it from pushing or rubing against a cage. Then said shes more concerned about the inside of the snakes mouth so she took a look and everything looked good. She looked over the whole snake and said she looks real good asides from a dry spot and recommends me to look after it and see what happens after her next shed. Iam not sure if its a he or she lol she said she would probe it but didnt havea probe with her.

I really should have asked more? About the snake from the breeder but hopefully he will be there next time ,and remember the snake so i can get more info like age, and how the snake was bred.

She also said to get some food in the snake before it gets to cold she was feeling a certain area and said she felt alittle thin

Reddog · 09-24-13, 02:19 PM

If you notice the snakes head is lighter not sure why the drastic color change

Reddog · 09-29-13, 06:00 PM

The snakes head is back to being darker like the first post werid Rosie is on the cool side of the cage for the first time could temp cause a color change that drastic?

She's a Hypo. (Co-Dominant gene)

The lump is simply a breeder bump or nose rub as Kevin said. Increase cage size and give her more things to occupy her (like something to climb on) and this won't get any worse.

Feed Prey that is the width of her at her thickest.

Has anyone ever had problems from taking their animals outside like that? I'd imagine your neighbors could freak out and call the cops/animal control. I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle.

If they are legal to own, and you are on your own property, absolutely NOTHING can be done then and there.

If a cop or animal control officer walks on your property to tell you otherwise or to try to fine you, exercise your right to protect your property from intruders.

Anytime i bring one of my snakes out it is usually positive. This one is much larger than the others and only a few people that saw it where scared but most of the people even the scared ones came around to see it closer or touch rosie. Some of the people on my street that where once terrified will now hold one of my snakes i will let people hold my dumerils boa,but rosie is werid as she seems to only like certain people to handle her and she doesn't become aggressive just starts movingg around fast and trying to get down then i will grab her and she calms down. I think it is good to show people that snakes at least all snakes are not crazy monsters that try to kill everything and that there not slimy lol similar to owning a apbt.what the hell is animal control going to do anyways .
