    What are you soaking the boa for.. a difficult shed?

    You can use slightly warm water.. you don't want cold or hot.

    Why do you need to soak a baby RTB for 2 hours??

    I would say about 85*F.

    I'm curious also on the reason why? I'm not a boa guy, I'm just intrigued.

    Re: Water temp

    It was a suggestion ( among others)from a local breeder for the baby I am having the regurge probem with. I only ended up soaking for less than an hour. The water barely touched his belly and there was a flat rock in there which he kept his head and neck on. He laid still most of the time after a minute or so to explore.

    How does soaking help with regurg syndrome?

    He said they can become a little dehydrated after a regurge.
