Advice on Baby Boa

[murph3010]

Hi i have two lovely male baby boas and the have been eating and doing well. However one has took to spending all day in the water bowel with his head sticking out. he seems fine and happy but the otber seems to be doing all the right things. by this i mean moving into the warmer areas and colder areas when needed.

Should i be worried about the boa in the water or is it nothing to worry about?

Could just be going into shed, my baby boa does this whenever he/she's about to shed.

hi, no dont worry about it i had the same thing when i had my boas, is he coming up to shed?.

[BecciBoo]

I wouldn't worry about it to much, a lot of my boa's will soak themselves for periods of time, especially when coming into shed. Keep an eye on him, and make sure the water is fresh/clean.

also check him over for mites just to be on the safe side

No mites and he only shed last week thats why i wondered however his not in it today. myabe he just wanted a bath lol

[murph3010]

well its again spent a couple of days nearly in the bath. it seems to like bing in it but his brother spends more time near the heat. im not going to worry about it it seems happy in the bath and does come out to heat up then returns to the water. maybe he thinks hes an anaconda

I'm gonna go with everyone else on the shedding thing, have you checked your humidity?

Have you got both snakes in the same viv?

[murph3010]

yep both males in same viv however they are both in the bowel today im just wondering if the temp is high. it says its 81 ambiant but im just not sure so i have moved the sensor to a better place. It wasnt sheding as i said it had just shed a day or so before it started doing this but i will see if i have had temp to high.
