Got bit worried about boa

0 Upvotes

So I just got bit for the first time by my 3y/o boa imperator!

Didn’t really hurt felt like a cat scratching my hand but I am worried about more about my boa. He was laying on his ledge when he nipped me because he thought I was food and when he got me I pulled without realizing…

So he dropped down from the ledge about 10cm on cork wood and a stick, I just wanna make sure that drop isnt dangerous for him! I checked his body and didn’t feel anything unusual or see anything bad in his mouth.

Any advise?

This is probably a dumb question but I’m kinda curious does her mouth look like it’s properly aligned? Like is this how all boas heads look from this angle

Getting this girl Wednesday need name. Suggestions was told she is a hypo but I suspect there's something else with how orange and kind of red she is. I don't know much about billogenetics, but I am assuming to be something blood, potentially.?

Boa shed issue on nose?

My boa is starting to shed and I wasn’t home so my mom noticed she started to shed and kinda folded her shed skin on her nose back just a bit because when she was breathing it was kind of flapping around or kind of blowing like a balloon, since it was around her nostril it was inflating. Should I worry, or should I try putting her in a bucket with some water to help her? I’m not to sure if the shed is stuck or not. Her cage humidity has been fine but she was in her hide which was a bit dry so I’m not sure what to do.
