    I'm so sorry, but this happened.

    I took Geno to the vet, and he is perfectly healthy! Same with May, they are both doing great. Their whole set-up and everything is managed and I have them under control!I'm sure there sure there are 1,000,000 things you can point out that I did wrong or reasons I am an unresponsible snake owner, and I want to apologize in advance. I definitely regret rushing into it. Thanks
    About 10 hours ago, I had no interest what-so-ever in purchasing any type if boa. At the reptile show, the plan was to pick up a hognose, if any reptile. Well, they didn't have hognoses so I was just going to pick up some food for my ball pythons. One thing led to another and soon I was holding a baby female Central American boa. I kind of fell in love instantly, and my hognose set up at home just needed a couple tweaks to house her. I paid for her, got her some hoppers, and everything I needed for her tank. She is a very beautiful normal. 61g. But, I just have her a UTH and the temperatures are 76°F on the cool side, 81°F on the warm side, and 125°F right above the UTH. HOT! I know, but I'm not too worried because 1: I have a thick layer of aspen (Due to the possibility of a hognose lol), and 2: I bought the UTH thermometer previously, and It's actually supposed to be here tomorrow. Should I unplug the UTH until it gets here? Honestly, it wouldn't be until around 4:30 pm because I wouldn't be home. What do you think? I also need name suggestions! Pictures are coming.
    (Oh and I forgot, I was going to put some kind of cover, like the fish tank backgrounds, around the back and sides so she doesn't feel so exposed in her glass tank )

    Unplug it.

    Warm Side: 84-86F
    Cold Side: 75-78F
    Hot Spot: 88-90F
    Ambient: 80F
    Humidity: 60-80% (I like to keep humidity around 70-75% and 65% at the lowest.)

    Feed him one hopper mouse every10 days or every 2 weeks depending on how conservative you want to be.

    I actually just bought those a few weeks ago and I like them well enough. They all had the same humidty reading right out of the box which was nice and a first when buying multiples at once.
