Brought Ember to an exotic vet in Orlando. He pressed on her belly and there was an audible crunch. So she wasn’t eating because she was full of gas, possible do to a clostridium species/ gut immobility probably happened while she was in transport. So she’s getting admitted for a month to get her abdomen pressed daily to toot , meds and tube feedings. Apparently has a pretty high mortality of 50% so crossing fingers she’ll be just fine.

also side note said to ditch the fogger and not even get a mister , said soaking in a tub 2 ish times a week for an hour works perfect and has been shown to have better outcomes longterm. she’s in a bioactive so the humidity will
be high enough anyway

Anyone know of Rosy Boa breeders on the east coast?

Is there anyone over here who works with them? Especially in NC, or SC/VA/TN that may travel to NC for shows? Planning to go to a couple expos this coming up month (Asheboro and Raleigh) to search for one but I wanna get an idea of what my strategy should be and if I should get my hopes up or just forget about it altogether if they're that rare over here.

I'm looking to get a female of a cheaper morph/locality possible if that helps anything, not looking for any fancy morphs at all I have absolutely 0 color preference. Open to adults or babies. I've fallen in love with their personalities and their cute little faces and their chunky bodies and they get just the right size for me, but I'm afraid I'll have a hard time finding one within budget (200) or even finding one at all :( I'm really trying to avoid shipping because of costs as well as my own nerves, so that's going to be an absolute last resort for me if everything else falls through. If anyone could point me towards vendors who I should look into or message about them, that would be great.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Do sub-adults keep their coloring?

This guy is 1.5-2 years old at a rescue. He's on large mice. They think the people who surrendered him weren't feeding properly. Does he seem small for that age? If I adopt, I'd be hoping to put some growth on with rats.

Also, is that lovely bright red tail going to darken, or stay?
