| What is your diagnosis of the condition seen in this juvenile boa constrictor? | Dysecdysis. |
[[|Link to Article]] | |
| How would you treat this condition? | The boa should be soaked for at least 30 minutes in mildly tepid water, then ‘sandwiched’ between layers of moistened towelling so that the now-moisturised epidermis can be loosened and removed as the boa crawls through the cloth. If necessary, a few drops of hard-contact lens-wetting solution can be placed on the retained tertiary spectacles to enhance their moisturisation. |

| How may it be prevented? | Furnish the boa’s cage with a water container sufficiently large to permit it to bathe, and one or more large rocks or logs upon which it can rub its chin to initiate the moulting process. |
