hey all!
I just got a new BCI today and he is HUGE. He is about 8 feet long. I got a Boamaster enclosure measuring 4x2x12 with a heat pad for heat source. I am running into some dillemmas. First, the room I am keeping him in is usually 65-70 degrees which is pretty cold and the heat pad isnt bringing the ambient up much. Its at about 76. The people I brought him from (Noahs Ark Reptiles) said that just a heat pad would be fine, but I am thinking I may need another heat source........The thing is, I don't want to heat the whole room up with a space heater....RHP a good substitute? Second, would this size boa require a hide? At the moment hes pretty restless and crusing his enclosure but its the first day so idk.....good hides for a boa of this size that are not homemade and can be found online?? Thanks guys, any advice would be much appreciated. A how-to for RHPs would be appreciated as well.
