I have a boa that is almost 25 years old and I have a few questions for any one who may have experience in this area.
1- How old can a red tail boa live (yes, I know, at least 25 yrs)
2- she's declined significantly over the last few years (loss of appetite, weight loss) is there anything I can do?
3- has any one ever tried "loading" food items with added nutrients and how did you do it?

Thanks, I appreciate any information you might have.
 
ok i have about 10 years experience and to be honest with you after 25 years you have to be extreamly careful to keep up perfect husbandry on the animal. on some of my oldest boas i have noticed the same decline in feeding responce but never anything that dramaticly affected its overall health. if you are feeding it rabbits maybe try a smaller prey item like 2 jumbo rats. and yes i use a calcium supplement that is sprayed on to the food, and you can pick it up at almost any pet store, i use the zoo med product.if you have any other questions that i might be able to help you with feel free to ask.
