    What do you have for temperature and humidity? Do you have a hide for it? I brought my boa home from the expo and the same night it ate a large f/t mouse.

    Re: baby boa feeding

    From my experience with my baby boa... Do you mist his enclosure every night, temps warm enough, and enough hides? My Boa fasted for a couple of months and then I realized he needed more humidity so I started misting lightly every night, 2 days later he ate a nice fat rat pup for me.
