This is doable for more than just boas.
No snake here, he is hiding.
Well, I think I'm 99% done with my enclosure. I have 1 more perch to find and cut for the inside.
I mounted a new light that does not disturb the snake at night an simulates real moon light. Its called the Arcadia Moonlight LED.
Its totally water proof and can be submerged in water. I think its' a nice light for about $21.00.
The plastic mounts were sub-par IMO but I bought some stainless steel ones that work better.
This is my cage at night.
Whether I'm feeding him or just want to relax with a beer or nothing at all and watch him
Mounting was simple. I have it next to the heat panel, and the strip LED is toward the back.
This may not be a breeder's "dream setup" but for the hobby snake owner with a few animals, I like it a lot.
I-Phone pictures do not do it justice. The clarity is quite good and the whole tank is dimly lit up.
