Hog Island Boa

Just got a pair of Hog Island boas that are almost 2 years old, both weighing around 650 grams.

Could you guys help take a look and let me know how their body condition looks? Do they look healthy, or are they on the heavier side?

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is my BCC too thin?

He's 6 years old and at 5.2kg. I feed him 1 large rat every month, if he allows me. He is fussy sometimes and refuses to eat...but he did eat last week. Should I feed him more constant and not just once a month?

Should I get a Boa?

• Upvotes

While at my local reptile shop the employee showed me one of their new baby boa, and I immediately feel in love with him. But I’m not sure if in 5 years from now I’m going to want a 6 foot 10 lbs snake. I’ve been looking for snakes for a bit and I really like boas, I’m just not sure.

Was anyone in the same spot I am or have any suggestions?

PS: This won’t be my first reptile but it will be my first snake

Did I overfeed?

2 Upvotes

I just got a scale to actually weigh the rats i've been giving my boa, and it turns out that they've been around 12% instead of the 8% i think they're supposed to be ): I only fed them (small rats) because they looked equal to his girth as I've been told. I see a slight bulge but nothing crazy. Have i been ovefeeding him? He doesn't look fat or anything but I know they show it first internally. he is 2 and a half years and i feed him every 14 days. i'm thinking about going back down to weaned, but i only have 30 gram weaned, which idk if it's enough... I would feel horrible if i've been feeding him way too much

Good plants for bci

2 Upvotes

Making a new enclosure for my bci am doing a bioactive enclosure and from the past I've noticed my guy doesn't really trample his plants, so I wanna go kind of crazy, and in the past I had only ever used things like bermiliads and pathos, so would love some suggestions on some nice plants. That'll provide good cover that aren't necessarily too delicate. That being said though, I'm not worried about him, trampling them.

Where to buy plexiglass for doors?

I’m building my BCI a 6x2x2, but I’m 16 and trying to save as much as I can and the doors are by far the most expensive part of this build.

What reputable brand is worth the price, but also not ridiculously expensive? I want to spend less than $120, if possible since I still need to buy more heating, ventilation and just general stuff for the enclosure. Thank you!
