I was told a broken line on the head means jungle. At least that’s what a breeder said was a good visual to determine jungle.

Re: Look!
All my snakes have the broken head stamp so not sure how true that would be. Also what does everyone think should I just get her a big enclosure to grow into or just keep her in the shoebox tub I have set up for her for a while?

Re: Look!
Enclosure size is totally optional. Because boas grow somewhat slowly you don't need a large enclosure right away and tubs work pretty well with young ones. On the flip side you can get the adult enclosure now and not have to upgrade later. You won't lose anything either way. I have other snakes that are getting larger enclosures so the new arrivals go in QT tubs for now and have to wait their turn like the others did.

And she was like well it looks like we will just have to get another one to put in thier when that happens lol at first she didn’t even want me to get one in the beginning lol

Congrats on the new one! Very nice-looking boa, can't wait to see how she colors up. Is that her dark phase in the photo you shared? You should post her fired up if you happen to catch it.
A broken head spear is a marker of jungle, it doesn't mean the snake is jungle. Jungle is a dominant morph, so unless at least one parent was jungle, your girl isn't jungle. A hypo x normal pairing would not make any jungles.

No. Neither of her parents were jungle, and hets are visual. She’d have to have at least one jungle parent, and at least 3 markers.
With time you should figure out light vs dark. They change color daily.
Sometimes new boas don’t use their hides the first few weeks or months. They tend to feel safer up in the trees, so they’ll perch as high as they can until they feel safe. Though your hides do look too large, I’d find hides half that size.
You can add more holes to lower humidity, but be aware the analog hygrometers/thermometers are not accurate. They can be off up to 50% humidity and 30+ degrees. I’d get a digital combo, like an Acurite.
