Cool Side Hide????

[STEW]

BTW how large is the boas cage? I am assuming it is larger, so he will feel even less secure. If you do move it to that cage, at least get TWO hides instead of your current one...

The boa still has about a year left in that one....... the boas enclosure is 36"x12".....

The BP is in a 10 until then

I would definately recommend getting a thermo/hydro to keep in each enclsoure at all times. Like somebody else stated it only takes a minute or 2 for temperatures to fluxuate.

I do understand this, but once you get them steady, especially in the same room, if one is not flucuating, the other is normally doing the same.... at least with my experience anyways..... I dont need two

Yes you do. What if your thermostat (you do have a thermostat right?) acts up? You will not know...

No, you don't NEED two. It's your recommendation that he has two. He understands the risk he is taking by not having one for each enclosure and if he chooses to take that risk it is his choice.

STEW, you say that your BP lies spread out while inside the log hide, thats probably because they like to feel the walls of their hide, it makes them feel more secure.

If you keep your animals at top notch level, then you will make their home as secure and safe as possible. Thats means having two hides that are not half logs. Having a thermostat and at least one thermometer per cage. I am not leaving this thread and will not return. I really hope for the sake of your snakes that you take my, and everyone else's advice. We are all trying to help. Goodbye.

From my experience, and from many others, yes it does intrude on the snakes well being.
