Here are some pictures of the current set-up I have for my rosy boas. Although I am using the same aquarium for both snakes, they are separated with a divider down the middle. The more active of the two snakes (Char, also seen in one of these pictures) already tested out the divider and wasn't able to get past it to the other side. The total dimensions of the tank is 36" x 16" x 16"high, so divided in half each snake has 16" x 18" ground space (and Char takes full advantage of his 16" vertical space! Cin to a much lesser degree.). The air temperature of their tank has stayed a pretty even 80 degrees, dropping to no less than 75 at night. Humidity has been a steady 30% (ambient humidity in the house), raised to 60% one day when we had a thunderstorm. They do have a UTH, but I don't currently have a thermostat. I did place an order for one, as well as a better thermometer/hygrometer, and those should arrive within the next week. From what I've read, rosy boas like it dry and warm, and so far this seems to be working well. Both snakes are regularly eating f/t pinkies every 3-4 days, fed in separate containers without substrate. Cin (not seen in these pictures) had his second shed yesterday.
Any helpful suggestions for me to further improve their home? Or do I have a set up that's just right? (aside from not yet having a thermostat) Should they have a basking lamp as well? (I've read mixed information about whether or not rosies need a basking lamp.)
And a bonus snake bracelet:
