OK, so in about two weeks my new boa will be here (a little salmonpastel boy from Jimi), and it is my first. Though I have been around them and handled them, I have never myself owned one. A friend of mine does though, and this is the general info I got from him: a hide (2? he only has one, but since I've never had one I've never had the 'right', or the know-how to say anything about it), warm side 90-95 and cool side 82-90, and of course the normal stuff, like a bowl of water big enough for it to soak in, and a big enough enclosure of him when he's full grown.
so does this all sound about right?
