Hey y'all, I'm in West Texas (usually hotter n hell, but even hell freezes sometimes) and this guy at work just walks up and says 'Want my snake?'
'Excuse me?'
'I'm moving, and the new landlord won't let me keep it.'
'What kind is it?'
'A boa. About 4 years old and about 4 feet.'
'Okay. Why not?'
So I did my research on boas, and picked it up. 'I only feed it twice a month, so it'll stay small.'
It didn't look like a boa. Has these weird green alien looking spots, heart shaped almost with two black spots. Didn't look like anything I found until I looked up 'Ball Pythons.'
That's what she is.
Now, she's been kept on coconut husk substrate, but didn't have a hide (I took care of that right off). I gave her a week to acclimate, and then fed her.
But, I'm wondering if once every two weeks is enough, or if she should be fed more often?
And
Is the coco husk okay, or should I switch to newspaper? Or Aspen?
