is racking bps easier than boas...
is racking bps easier than boas not only because of size requirements but because of boas lighting requirements and if so do you think boas would be more popular in racks and therefore kept more? aslo, is lighting boas in racks easier than im thinking which makes the above a non issue?

What lighting requirements are you talking about?
Their size is the main reason why they aren't kept in racks as much as BP's are.

i thought boas required lighting unlike balls. my bad...
read this is various posts online: Boa constrictors do not need any special lighting, but should have approximately 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness every day to simulate a natural environment. Either a bulb or natural light can be used to provide such conditions.

i go with clear tubs, so house hold lighting, or natural sunlight is my light source for them. if they are in a room with no window or a covered one, turn on the room light for the time needed. then off.
