My first boa!

[Evenstar]

Thanks everyone! I know a lot of you keep many boas and with research a lot of care sheets say different things but what is the proper temps for Columbian BCI's? I have mine 80 cool spot, 90 hot spot right now is that sufficient? Or bump it up or down slightly?

Congrats on your baby! He is a very nice normal motley BCI.

Take a look at the caresheet here. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...tor-imperator)

This is a good one to follow. The only change I would make to it is the feeding recommendations. Boas are proven to do better starting out on mice and on a 7-10 day schedule. Mice have more bone and less fat than rats at this stage and are shown to be better for what baby boas need. Yours looks like he could handle small mice with no problems. And stick to one a week or one every 10 days. Just remember that boas are not balls and less is more with them.

The temps you have right now are ok. Personally, I've found my boas tend to prefer very slightly cooler temps, so I'd lower your ambient to 78. But otherwise, you're good.
