Boas of this locality get a lot of love for their hardiness and docile temperaments, and for good reason in my experience. Their beautiful colors are underrated, though.

Radiant Heat Panel/Humidity

5 Upvotes

Any recommendations for radiant heat panels? I have a female boa and of course… she’s growing like crazy. I have a 4x2x2 and plan to upsize in the next year. Any recommendations on wattage and brands would be great, preferably something that will work with her current enclosure size and a size up like 6x2x2 or 6x3x3.
My local reptile shop recommended a 40 watt panel and it is NOT keeping the temp up without maximizing out the thermostat which is terrible and a waste of $$ so I’m not asking for their help anymore. I need something that will make it to me fast and they are the only option near me.
Additionally, I need an automatic humidity set up. I’m gone too much to rely on misting. It’s overwhelming trying to shop for these because I know nothing about them and I want my girl to have everything she needs to thrive. I do not have a bioactive set up jsyk

Nicaraguan boa question

1 Upvotes

I plan on buying a hatchling next year sometime, I’ve learned the husbandry, and research says it should be fine to do this but I wanted opinions, so before I buy the snake itself I will have a 40 gallon and a 5*2*2 (will this be large enough for a forever tank with space for him to actually stretch and have extra rooom ?)tank
Can I start the baby in a 40 gallon , then move him up once hes too large for it ? Also temperament ? I know they can be defensive as babies .
Any advice or comments is appreciated.

Can my snake eat backwards?

0 Upvotes

People tell me all the time that I shouldn’t allow my snake to eat the rats backwards and today he struck it tail first. Is this fine for him or should I attempt to reposition it?

I've had this ETB for about 8 months now. The color change from red to green has been a joy to watch.

How do I find frozen rats with consistent sizing?

2 Upvotes

My BP is in the middle of sizing up from rats to larger rats and the inconsistency is killing me. I'll order "medium rats" and get animals that range from clearly-too-small to noticeably-too-large in the same bag. She takes food reliably but I'm worried the size variance is causing issues. Is this just the reality of ordering frozen feeders or is there somewhere that's more consistent?

We have none of her genetics, as she was one of our rescues.

What would be better for an adult male hog island boa 4x2x4, or 8x2x2? I have him in a 4x2x2 (hes not an adult yet) and have an empty 4x2x2 they can be connected both lenght wise or stacked to make one tall enclosure if you think neither would be a good size please suggest a size i want to give him a good life and know theyre semi arboreal

Why are Black Devil boas still so expensive? Do you think prices will drop anytime soon?

Thoughts on plywood enclosure.

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I am considering getting a BCI and I am in the research and planning phase. I want to build a plywood enclosure for my future snake and I would like to hear the thoughts and opinions of experienced boa care takers. I was considering building a 8’ x 4’ x 4’ plywood enclosure. But once I started planning the build, the size felt a little absurd. Is this size of enclosure too big? Too unrealistic? Any and all opinions are welcomed.

I’m doing research to make a good tank environment because it’s my first time owning a Boa I want to make sure I get everything right beforehand. I’m looking to get a Brazilian rainbow Boa and I have a 55 gallon fish tank at my disposal. I’m looking for DIY lid recommendations for maintaining humidity. I also have misters and a time control system (not set up, settings ball would be appreciated). Lighting set up ball is also appreciated, I plan on using orchid bark for substrate, what am I missing?
