    Peruvian long tail boa caresheet please
    Hi, can anyone provide me with a general caresheet for a Peruvian long tail boa? Anyone with any experience on what parameters work best for them?

    They are pretty much the same care as a BCI or BCC. I keep my guy with a 77-79F cool side/cage ambient and a hot spot of around 88F with flexwatt. I keep the humidity at around 70-80%.

    Does anyone recommend dropping the temps at night? Or keep them the same 24/7

    Not sure it matters, but I wouldn't let it get below 75f in there if you choose to. I know that in most of the amazon, temps stay fairly stable from night to day, but at higher elevations they can have rather cool nights. Without knowing exactly where in Peru these snakes cone from, you'd be better off just keeping temps constant.

    I personally keep mine constant a constant temp for my Bcl, they have natural daylight in the room so get to see a weather cycle as such, well winter/summer etc .probably not like the Tumbes mountain Range in peru from where originally came from like

    I personally dont drop the temps at night for any of my snakes except if the room gets a little cooler. The only heat i use for all my snakes is just flexwatt. Their ambient/cool side temps are the room temp which varies from 77-79F.

    Peruvian longtail come from North Peru. They can take some serious temps drops at night into the low 70s and high 60s. They are kind of like a dumerils in terms of temps but like i said, i dont drop my temps for any of my snakes. They seem pretty content with an overall temp of 77-79F.

    If you are looking for info, you can also look under Tumbes Boa as they are also known as that.
