Being fed once a week at adult size is definitely too much. While I'm not sure if it meets the formal definition of power feeding or not - "power...

Yep, I've been taking the same steps as you. I use a pump spray and soak the substrate and mix it up. I guess I was just hoping to avoid the every...

Yeah, really! :rolleyes: Poor snakes... we'll likely never know what their thinking was.

I have a similar setup as you, and I have the humidity issues as well. I spray it down like you a few times a week. But, I don't spray right into the...

Yes, I understand how humidity works and how the temps can effect it. My question was more about which humidity readings should I concern myself with...

I guess that's a possibility. Seems a lot more trouble than just blocking his head with a roll of paper towels or a tub lid or something. I know boas...

It's completely normal for the hot side to be quite a bit lower. You are already doing it right with the enclosure type and substrate. Misting isn't...

Yeah, feeding an adult boa every week- I'd call that power-feeding too. :confusd: I've heard of ppl who power-feed to get young snakes to breeding...

I just love her. What a pretty girl.

I cannot fathom for the life of me why a breeder would powerfeed a 10yo male boa D: and yes, that is way too much unless it's seasonal to bulk them...

Relative humidity is always, 100% of the time, lower where the temperature is higher. That’s just how humidity works relative to temperature. Check...

HOAs suck. There is basically nothing anywhere near here without one. One of the many reasons I want to move in a year or two. California has some...

i'm in Wisconsin, and i use a room humidifier all winter. keep my ambient humidity at around 60%. I only have 2 ball pythons, but they shed great...

She's doing very well with handling! I've been able to tong feed her on my lap to get her associating me with good things She's also just...

I recently moved my Leo to a 40 gallon breeder tank. Substrate are tiles you can pick up for cheap at hardware stores. You can also use slate rocks...

Okay so. We had this snake for the first 10 years. I only think he was being powered because he was being fed every single week even at adult size.....

So many lizards, so little time! ;) You're making me miss California- :P (not HOA's though, never had one, never will)

I havn't seen any birds lately but I've been seeing a lot of lizards! I have no idea what species. I'll have to take some pics next time I see one...

Great looking stuff on these latest picture posts. I'm waiting for spring here and I'll pop a few new ones up.

I love the head on that one! Great example!

Very pleased she ate for you! Let her be - completely - no touching, bothering, handling, etc. for 2-3 days. Then we will help you with the shed. ...

So glad she ate for you!

1901 at his age isn't necessarily an issue, it just depends on the shape and muscle tone. Keep in mind they will slowly grow for their entire lives,...

I defiantly think that's your best bet until you both are comfy. so glad she ate! I know it can be a real relief! I know from experience :rolleyes: ;)

What gives you the idea he was powerfed? 17 seems quit a long time for a boa who was powerfed to live, and I see no reason to powerfeed a male even...

I love to watch birds taking a bath...especially when it's been a while. They get done & sit there, then go back in again 'cause it felt so good the...

Oh I know! My wife movies into our front room to use as an office and I’m debating on putting a bird bath right in front of her window so I’m not the...

Well, I can't blame any creature for objecting to being dinner...that's not what I meant by "nasty", btw- I just don't find their smell to be...
