I posted this at the end of one of my previous posts but didn’t get a response so sorry for creating a new thread.

Phantom is usually clockwork when it comes to his location in his enclosure at different times of the day.

Morning: Half out of his cool side hide with a food response look on his face. Ready to pounce.

Daytime: curled up in his cool side hide

Early evening: starts to retreat out of his hide and onto the large piece of grapevine to bask under the RHP.

Evening (after 8 when the lights go out): Major food response mode.

Within the last week or two, he’s been out of his hide hanging out on the hot side. The side which I’ve never seen him hang out on.



I’m not sure if I should be worried or is this something normal. I’ve only had a boa for a little over a year.

Could it be the change in seasons?

I checked the temps and they don’t seem to have changed. 88-Hot and 78 cool.

The only things which have been different are that he’s been converted from mice to rats and I’ve started to spray the enclosure with water to up the humidity for an anticipated shed.

Any ideas??
