<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1=What is your diagnosis of the condition seen in this juvenile boa constrictor?
|a1=
Dysecdysis.
|l1=
|q2=How would you treat this condition?
|a2=
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.
|l2=
|q3=How may it be prevented?
|a3=
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.
