    Does your Boa Burrow?

    I was walking by her cage and at first I thought it was a urate but a closer look it was her head. Sorry for the picture quality but her body is in the hide which you can see in the background, but then her head is underneath and popping out through the substrate. After I took the picture I moved her just to make sure all is well, it was, but wasn't sure if this is something normal?

    It's common for smaller boas to burrow.

    My boa liked to burrow when he was a bit younger. I think it's a little boa thing

    I dunno, my boa is an adult and she burrows on occasion. I think it's just a preference thing.

    All of mine burrow if I put them on aspen. I usually use paper so they don't have much chance to do it, but they most certainly will if given the opportunity!
