Default R.I.P Luna damn IBD:(

This morning,after a night of stargazing, my baby boa constrictor imperator died of IBD. She had the most beautiful silver colour and gentle temperament.

I'm going to bury her in my garden with a little photo to mark her place

not good RIP litle boa.
Are you sure its IBD though hun, its quite hard to diagnose, and needs blood samples (from the spinal chord I think) to confirm this.

All the clinical signs were there, she was upside down, unable to right herself last night,not eating

I can't bring myself to have an autopsy to search for inclusion bodies in her liver,kidneys and brain.

I'm so upset about it, at least she was still in quarantine

if it were IBD your collection would still be at risk.. unless u had her in a completely air tight room.. and IF its IBD its recomended you dont keep pythons or boas/ boids for 6 months in the same HOUSE.. so by not having a PM it could cause further issues sadly



RIP snakey
