Picking up snake friday

[ZacharyPoller]

I posted this in the Boa section but am yet to get a reply, due to my lack of patience posted here sorry for the inconvenience but thanks for reading. My local snake shop has a Nic. Boa that is aporx. 4 foot now they have had it in stock for over 18 months. This store isn't to popular for snake sales, i have seen the snakes there for months, I made a deal with the owner i would pay $50 for snake that was listed at $200 because it is in a 10 gallon and i feel terrible for the baby and have wanted it for months, whenever i go to pick up live food this is the place i go, they are known for incredible live and frozen prices, I get better prices then here then I do at shows, and thats what the store is mainly for live food how can you beat a .50 cent adult mouse or 75 cent rat pup they make all business in feeders. Ok that being said i have ball pythons and i have done a lot of research on boas. So far my conclusions is ambient temp from 74-80 hot spot 90. Humidity 50-60%. I have a free 55 gallon in my house should i move straight to that? Or should i pick up the 30gallon they offered me for 20$ used no screen top so i will pay another 15$ for it. At home i already have a big water bowl , reptibark bedding, thermostat, digital thermometer and humidity gauge. I am buying a new hide for the hot spot but for the cool side i will make a humid hide for the boa. Well so basically what i am asking is it worth it to purchase another 30g and then move it to the bigger tank? (if so thats good bc then down the road ill have a free 30g for another snake lol) and am i correct with humidity and temps? and any other suggestion? So excited to bring this guy home been playing with him every time i go to the store for food the snake is docile love it so much such a puppy. I also feel terrible as they only feed 1 adult mouse a week, so when i put deposit down i bought it a baby bunny perfect size for it and he took it down with no problems.. I was surprised by the feeding response on new food, bc my ball pythons even if the mouse or rat is from a different store they are picky with it

Wow! How did they fit it into such a small tank? Use what you already have at home; don't give these people more dinero.
