Enclosure for Boa

[Sauzo]

I will try Petco/Petsmart tomorrow and see if I can buy a CHE. Is there a specific one I should be getting? Will the CHE dry out all the humidity?

They do a little but nothing major since you will just use it to bump up ambient temps. My advice is since you are only using a 20 gallon, get a 40 watt Nano CHE and fixture. They are small and that should give you enough. Also be sure to cover the top of the cage except around 1/4 of it. I use tin foil for tanks. It holds in humidity and heat and is cheap. Also cover the sides of the cage with black craft paper or if you feel like it, sheet insulation like R-type stuff. And if the nano isnt enough, then just return it to Petsmart or Petco and get a full size 8 inch dome with a 60 watt CHE but be sure to use a lamp dimmer for both.
