My first boa!

[Evenstar]

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!

Well, you shouldn't have him anywhere near your python rack for at least 90 days. I hope you've got him in strict quarantine... ??

I would advise you to use a tub though instead of a tank. Humidity will be very hard to maintain in a tank. Especially if you're using a heat lamp. That lamp will suck any humidity you might have had right on out of there...

If you use a tub though, a UTH will likely be all you'd need unless you keep your house temp under 70 (no matter what, use a t-stat with any heat source). But you are correct that boas are not as shy and don't mind larger enclosures.
