    Congratulations on a great looking little Boa!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Nice looking boa. What substrate do you have her on? I've used several things for mine and they like the walnut hull bedding and sani chips best.. They're great burrowers and it is fun to watch them in their tubs.

    One word of caution. Be careful when spot cleaning her tub . They are ambush predators and I've had one of mine "ambush" my pinkie finger when I was removing poop from her tub.. Now I make sure I know where she is in the tub before spot cleaning.

    Good luck with her.

    OK.. Just make sure she can tunnel well in it and that it is not too humid. They do not like very humid conditions. The only time I use coconut fiber or moss is in a humid hide when mine go into shed. A lot of KSB keepers also use blasting sand for their boas.
