Help - Might inherit an RTB

I may be adopting an RTB from someone who is moving out of state unexpectedly. I've kept BPs and corns for about 7 years now, and RTBs have been on my "I'd like one someday list" but I really haven't researched it because I didn't expect "someday" to turn into "this week" as quickly as it did. :)

So, please point me in the direction of the best crash course on RTB care. If it matters, it is a male columbian who is currently about 500g.

Thanks!

Boas are easy if you have the proper enclosure. Tanks are not good as they don't hold heat or humidity very well. A male Colombian will do fine in a 4x2x2 pvc cage. You can use a good-sized tub while he's small.

One part of this caresheet that I would change is the guideline for feeding. Boas have slow metabolisms and are much healthier if they are fed smaller prey less often. Feed a prey that does not leave a lump in the snake's belly. And, at 500g, I would feed once every 10-14 days. :gj:
