Nicaraguan Boa

[ZacharyPoller]

My local snake shop has a Nic. Boa that is aporx. 4 foot now they have had it stock for over 18 months but my area this store isn't to popular i have seen the snakes there for months, I made a deal with the owner i would pay 50 for snake that was listed at 200 because it is in a 10 gallon and i feel terrible for the baby whenever i go to pick up live food this is the place i go and thats what the store is mainly for live food how can you beat a .50 cent mouse or 75 cent small rat they make all business in feeders. Ok that being said i have ball pythons and i have done a lot of research on boas. So far my conclusions is ambient temp from 74-80 hot spot 90. Humidity 50-60%. I have a free 55 gallon in my house should i move straight to that? Or should i pick up the 30gallon they offered me for 20$ used no screen top so i will pay another 15$ for it. At home i already have a big water bowl , reptibark bedding, thermostat, digital thermometer and humidity gauge. I am buying a new hide for the hot spot but for the cool side i will make a humid hide for the boa. Well so basically what i am asking is it worth it to purchase another 30g and then move it to the bigger tank? (if so thats good bc then down the road ill have a free 30g for another snake lol) and am i correct with humidity and temps? and any other suggestion? So excited to bring this guy home been playing with him every time i go to the store for food the snake is docile love it so much such a puppy. I also feel terrible as they only feed 1 adult mouse a week, so when i put deposit down i bought it a baby bunny perfect size for it and he took it down with no problems.. I was surprised by the feeding response on new food, bc my ball pythons even if the mouse or rat is from a different store they are picky with it

gratz man. i just got one too and what im doing is keeping her like a ball python pretty much with more room and feed her meals that dont leave a noticeable lump like you do balls every 10 day cause shes a baby and will go to 14 days at a year. you could feed this one every 2 to 3 weeks from what ive learned since shes older. its kinda hard to see her in your avatar pic so need some new pics asap .

When i pick her up friday pictures well be up for sure … never had this problem of wanting a snake and not buying it on impulse but the store wanted a deposit (like she would sell really , i been going so long no one even takes her out besides employees and me) I had only $40 on me so i paid for the snake well almost 9 short lmao and the rest of the things i will pay for friday, I can prob. get her earlier i am just waiting for the thermostat i ordered to come in mail, why pay $50 at store when i pay $30 online lmao it says it will be here thursday but i get off work and they are closed

I would just use the 55-gal tank and make sure there are plenty of hides. My boas are typically more active than my BP's and will make use of the space - including vertical space - that they are given.

Awesome thanks I am going to buy the 30 anyway and pick up the Columbian there which is a lot smaller but I will get a 55-70 down the road for it and I will fill the 30 with my pied female when she is bigger then I will use her 20 long for a new breed him maybe kingsnake or something idk I got this all planned out
