Dumerils Boas are NOT terrestrial

No worries about that, i am now an experienced snake keeper. I keep the temperature for my Dumerils boa as the same as for my BCI who actually need a bit more higher temperature than my Dumeril. But anyway, in my enclosures (except for my GTP) the warmth comes from the ground not from the above as i use only belly heating. So when he needs warmth he stays on the ground on the hot side. And he climbs his tree branch only at night when the heat source is off.

I was actually on the toilet when I began debating about which fauna classification Dumeril Boas are, which they are clearly terrestrial tetrapods.

Everyone please notice how these 2 members craigafrechette and Godzilla78
who are saying that they are reading my threads while they are on the toilet, how they are taking this forum to a very low level of discussions. Admins should take a note of that. Its not about me or my threads, its about the level of discussions in this forum.

Ok, but like the way you say stuff. 'Dumerils Boas are NOT terrestrial', like it's fact and even say that them being terrestrial(which they are) is false information. And then when someone who knows what they're talking about comes along and shuts you down it's 'I never said it was fact' and 'oh I was just sharing my opinion, I'm not an expert'. I highly doubt you're an experienced keeper based on the false information you're constantly sharing on this site and the incorrect setup of your animals.


Why is his heat source turned off at night?

No one was able to shut me down. Its the other way around.. I provided the evidences. That,s why those 2 members got frustrated and lost all arguments and resorted to insults.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They will regulate their body temperature. At night the tempreture drops in the wild, there is no sun at night. That,s why i turn his heat source at night off. And all depends on the season and the temperature outside and in the room. For example, the heat source for my BCI remains in sommer 12 hours on during the day and 12 hours off during the night, while in winter 14 hours on during the day and 10 hours off during the night. And sometimes in winter i make it 16 hours on and 8 hours off. So if you turn the heat source off during the night, you have to make sure that the temperature does not drop below the recommended night levels. I use timeclock or what ever you call it to turn the heat source on and off, never do it manually as you could easily forget it.

At first I just assumed you were not quite understanding written inflection in replies by English speaking posters but now I actually fear for the health of your animals. Knowing that you have some more delicate animals like GTPs, I fear some of them are living on the edge of negligence.

I was a) not arguing, that comment was my first, and b) not insulting anybody. I find the back and forth between the OP and the experienced keepers to be comical.
Soooo....I definitely wasn't frustrated nor proven wrong. Nice try, though. Also, a few short videos hardly constitutes evidence. I can dig up a video of a beached whale, that isn't evidence of a terrestrial being.

Anyway, I hve not broken any rules of the TOS. That being said, have a wonderful day.

Yes but you should not tell someone you are reading his thread while on the toilet. What are you trying to say? Is this the level of discussions we want to have in this forum? Have a nice day also

None of my animals were sick. I took my BCI only once to the vet because he had constipation. All of them are healthy and flourishing. Thank you for your concern.
