    Boas Are Cool, Going Arborel Man

    Like a Boss, Pandora snatches her prey before it can do the Zombie Dance. She just switched to F/T recently, can I get an AMEN for this lovely convert from the Choir??

    Anyway, she landed on her Monkey bars and didn't budge. She decided to eat in the classic Boa Arborel form - upside down. The rat never touched the floor of tank. Though she swallowed upside down, she finished off with an inverted periscope to satisfy the meal.

    Boas are just so cool.

    Looks good.

    It won't be long before she is too heavy for the suction cup perches.

    If you have a plastic cage on the horizon I can offer some advice for perch types.

    Boas make really nice display animals when they have the proper setup.

    This is a temp enclosure. I was going to go with a local guy that was doing knock off AP's and go 4x2x2. But his phone has gone dead. Now I'm looking at Cold Blooded Enclosures. They are very reasonably priced and not too far away.

    But seeing how she never uses these bars, I'm thinking about 4x2x18". She just happened this way for the feeding via the strike.

    She's 5.5-6ft, your thoughts?


    Here I brought her out for exercise and she just crashed for an hour.

    I would stick to 18" high personally as that seems to be the sweet spot for easy heating and enough height. I plan to pick up a AP T-13 for Vicky and probably will switch Rosey over to one as well. As for size, 4x2x18" is fine. Rosey is 6' and in a 4x2x14" at the moment and she is fine in there. I do take her out a lot whenever she wants to wander around though. All snakes are different. Rosey doesn't climb that much where as Vicky loves to climb.

    Re: Boas Are Cool, Going Arborel Man

    Damn I love boas! I want one so bad because they are just so cool. I am doing my research now but unfortunately I can't accommodate an animal that gets this big right now. I live in a very small house and I shave my two female ball pythons. All the rooms in my home are just way to small.
