If I go anything over a month on Rosey my 6'+ girl, she goes bananas and digs, shoves her hide all over, pulls down the light and RHP plug wires and pushes a lot. Vicky just stares out the front following any movement and Dottie does the same as Rosey, shoves her hides around, digs, tears down her silk vines and just an overall terror. Like others have said, start with the basic guideline and then adjust as needed. Just know that boas will play the "OMG you are starving me!!" card any chance they get. Both my gals are right there when I open the doors to change their water thinking rat god is feeding them again. Then they get all depressed and lay back down when its only my hand lol.
