Redtail turning over

[Adam87]

ok so my friend has a Redtail boa he found mites on it when he got it at the pet shop took it home and is now trying to get rid of all of them one thing he can't explain is that he turns over all the time and hes really worried about it. what does this mean?

look up ibd for boas its sad but it could be the problem

As SjRrMc stated, it could be inclusion body disease. Whether it is IBD or not, one thing is abundantly clear, he needs to see a vet.

i actually did some research after posting this and it explained it perfectly IBD is deff the case i just feel bad i gotta break the news to him that his boa he always wanted probably might die and hes aleady done so much for it too

PLEASE TAKE IT TO THE VET ASAP!!! CLEAN EVERYTHING WITH BLEACH AND IF YOU USED WOOD CAGES TRASH IT!! A freind of mine lost everthing because of IBD and not putting new animals into Quarantine 10 to 15 thousand dollars worth of animals.

Adam not steal this thread but it is sad about the boa. i had a young one catch the same thing. Sorry once again.

he has other snakes and lizards thankfully on the way home he saw the mites so he automaticlly knew to Quarantine it from the rest of his collection and i told him to wash his hands after cleaning him or the enclosrue cause i read it can spread that way
