Humidity levels for dwarf boas

[tb123]

I was thinking about getting a dwarf boa and was wondering what humidity levels are generally regarded as essential for keeping them healthy and happy?

Pretty much the same as a common. If you want to be super specific then it depends on what locale of dwarf; one of the islands, tarahumara mountain, etc. But essentially the same as a regular BI.

I have a mixed Central American with no specific locale info as the person who produced him imported the parents for looks not locality. But she showed me the parents, both over 8 years old (thats how long she'd had them) and the mother was just under 6' and the father barely broke 5, so for my boy i usually say "dwarf" with quotation marks (air-quotes if i'm actually speaking to someone). Anyway, i just keep my humidity in the mid 60's most of the time, mid 70's when he's in shed. Happy healthy snake, perfect sheds, never an issue (knock wood). If you'd like an idea of his size and growth rate, check out my progression thread (with pictures!)

Now i dont know what your snake collection looks like, but i should mention that i sought out a male dwarf b/c this was my first snake (well first since the ball pythons i had as a kid 25 years ago) and i was worried about size. Last month i got a baby female who will grow to be average boa size b/c i quickly realized that if a little bit of boa is this much fun, then a lot of boa will be even better.

I have 1.2 Tarahumaras. I keep their heat and humidity the same as for their larger BCI cousins.

Now, I have read elsewhere that they can run a little dryer but I've never tried it.
