Yes, I got the post. Another thing is that vets are sooo damn pricey around here. I want to treat it myself. Is there anything that I can use to treat the mangrove?

Get a smear and a floatation done on its poop.Should coast under 100 buckes then you can treat it your self.Flaygil and panacure are the most common treatments to shot gun newly aquired snakes,Both treat at 25 to 50 mg per kilo gram .You live in illinoies call Rob charmicheal at the nature center he would have great advice.As far as lathargy most snakes just lay around and mangroves are a night snake and always sit in the day.I have kept many.

Seriously, KNOW YOUR FRICKING LAWS FOLKS! As Tim said, Mangroves are illegal. The thread should end. And, you can betcha that my good friends from the IDNR will be looking into this matter as they check these forums daily.

I just checked with IDNR and I retract my last statement. I jumped the gun and I was told that the Mangroves (Boiga) are not considered medically significant and can be kept legally in Illinois. False Water Cobras fall into the same category which is pretty neat. But, I think it brings up a good point that people moving to a new state should do their own thorough investigation of what's legal and what's not. My apologies for the first response - lesson I learned is that before I jump the gun with my mouth, I better get my facts straight!

Illinois law seems rather vague as what is a definition of poisonous or dangerous reptile, I don't see a specific list, does anybody know?
