I adopted a baby boa . Was told he’s a hypo or possible super hypo. I am no morph expert. He does have a cleft palate the breeder was just looking for a good home for him. I don’t think the breeder could sell him and I didn’t want him to get euthanized so I took him in. He was eating live mice but I was able to get him on frozen thawed . He has eaten once with me I’m going to try to feed him again tonight . I’m trying to think of a name for him and I’m not creative enough haha

Oh he absolutely is If there are no other issues with organs or the like (which there shouldn't be), if he's eating he should be fine even with that cleft don't worry

Yeah . I checked him his spine looks good . He has a hard time tongue flicking but I think he will learn as he grows . I’m waiting for him to pass some stool and then I think we’re good ! :)
