    Dumeril's Enclosure

    I got a new enclosure for my dumeril's boa. He's about 2 years old now and I wanted to get him a bigger home. The dimensions are 15"x30"x20" and I am trying to figure out what wattage light bulb to use to get the correct temperature for him. Anyone have any ideas? Otherwise I'll have to do trial and error. I was thinking a 40watt, because it's so tall. thanks here is a photo of it:


    Oops I meant to put this in boas. I am not with it today.

    Moved it across for ya.

    Remember to put something like this round the bulb to prevent accidents.

    Thanks I have a 60 watt bulb in there right now and I am just testing the temps, the floor is about 90 on the warm side and 80 on the cool side. I'll definitely look into a cover for the bulb, thanks again.

    Once everything is setup and your dum has settled in, please share some pics of your animal in its new home! I just picked up a baby dum about a month ago and she's fantastic...except for having a difficult time switching her to rats!
