    Should I wait to feed after she sheds?
    What can I use as a hide for her?
    Right now temporarily she is in a 3ft x 2ft x 1ft tub. I know not ideal but she was last minute purchase.
    She has a hot spot of 90 and ambient of 78-80. A large water dish. And she is on paper towels for the time being since she is being treated for mites.
    Does all this sound about okay for right now until a few months when I can buy her a big boa enclosure?

    The set up sounds fine. The minimum for her, in my opinion, is a small rat every seven days. I maintained roughly 20-30 adult boas plus seasonal offspring for almost 8 years and that is what experience has taught me...some one else does it different and also has pristine specimens. I always let my personal boas decide on their own, my female was always voracious, therefore I fed her well...my male was never so therefore he did not like frequent feedings. Both are beautiful adults now with well rounded physiques...do what you and your animal is comfortable with. I started biweekly feedings at the 5-6ft mark.
