So as the title says I just picked up my first Boa, she is a birthday present for my girlfriend. I got a female dumeril's that is 4 months old according to the reptile shop I got her from (Pet Bazaar in Orlando, Fl) She weighs 120 grams and is somewhere around 18 inches long. She is super chill and doesn't seem interested in using the hides I provided for her. I'll get some pictures up at some point.
I do have a question. They guys at the reptile shop had her on cypress mulch. I have never used the stuff but would be willing to if need be. I don't have any humidity problems as my cages stay around 60% without misting. Do they like to burrow in the mulch? I currently have her on paper towels for quarantine purposes but am willing to use something else. I am currently using a UTH regulated to 87 degrees by my herpstat, humidity as I said is 60% and the air temperature is 76. If I switch over to mulch I will use a RHP to heat her enclosure (a AP T8 or T12 do they need more than 1 foot of cage height?)
