Thank you! I was waiting to see your response because I know that you know boas very well from past posts. I am probably going to keep him in a tank with a UTH and heat lamp on a thermostat until hes big enough for a 4x2. I read before that boas are not as shy as ball pythons and do not mind tanks as much. And the slight heating difference tells me not to put him in my python rack. Thanks for the info!Originally Posted by Evenstar
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.
