Depends on the caging and set up. I have a snake room where I can keep the ambient temps up and then I use heat mats or flexwat heat tape to provide a warm spot.
If you have low ambient temps in the room, you'll probably need multiple heat sources (lighting or a radiant heat panel) to increase ambient and then another to provide the temp gradient.
So this is what I have so far on a BCC hopefully you can see this picture well enough to see what I have written down (and you can read my crappy hand writing lol), if you can't I can type it. I am aware that I will need a smaller enclosure for a baby and the enclosures will get bigger as the snake grows but my main concern was adult housing. Up until then I will likely use ExoTerras (with mat and lamp for heating) until I move up to a PVC and then I'll use flex watt or RHP (with a heat bulb if needed).

Only question I'm left with now is prey size. I follow the BP feeding chart that circulates this site for my Calliope, but is there a similar feeding chart like that for Boas, or will I just have to go by the thickest part of the snakes body?
Please let me know if anything here is incorrect.
