Hey guys,
I just bought my first boa today. She’s an albino, female RTB BCI. The people I bought her from said that her hot spot shouldn’t ever get above 90 for risk of neurological damage. Because she said that took her telling me to set the thermostat to 85. She’s being housed in a Sterlite tub until she gets bigger, as I think she’s pretty young. So, can anyone tell me what I should have set my Herpstat to, and what the ambient temperature should be about? I have a ball python, how similar are these 2 creatures as far as habitats go? What should her hot side and ambient temperatures actually be? And with feeding, should I feed her every 2 weeks, or once a week, or every 10 days? The breeder said 2 weeks; many of the care sheets say 7-10. I currently feed my ball once a week. I don’t want to make this pretty little girl sick or anything so any help would be great!
P.S.
If anyone wants to see a picture of her, let me know and I will find a way to upload it.![]()
