Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Odd boa behavior
Been doing this since he arrived and is slow to turn over when placed on his back. He's been seperated in QT from the rest of my animals since arriving but this behavior worries me. Plus he stays right out in the open. Makes no attempt to burrow or use the hides.

IBD???
It sounds / looks like symptoms of IBD. That would be bad...real bad. I would get him as far from your collection as physically possible & to a vet. There isn't anything that could be done for the boa if it has IBD, but it is best to have a pro diagnose it. I hope it is just a strange little boa but I would be extremly cautious. Best of luck!

I suspected IBD based upon his behavior but none of the vets around here know anything about it so they cannot even give me advice. Right now it is in a seperate room AWAY from ALL of my other animals as a precaution.

If you are near a university
with a vet school, call them up and see if they could take a look at it. IBD scares that poop out of me...it could quickly run through an entire collection before you even know what is going on! I would probably get rid of any equipment that has been in contact with him that you can't sterilize with bleach. Did you just buy him? If you haven't already, you should contact the seller to let them know.
