    Re: My BCI "burrows"?

    If a boa doesn't have a hide, it may burrow to feel secure.
    If it has a hide and deep enough substrate it may do either or both (use hides, burrow or burrow in the hide).
    They also will simply hang out in the open happily enough, especially once larger.

    I keep the bedding about 2-3" deep and, as you see, provide hides - both seem to work well for them.

    First off, those pictures are amazing
    The day after I brought her home she dug, and I thought she got out! Even worse, she was in a little nook under her cool hide, it scared me to death lol! Would you reccomend Reptile Prime? I've been meaning to try it out but never got around to it. I could pick some up at the show I'm going to next weekend though. Love the names, and the pics!
    Thank you - just my cell phone but it works for me. the names - I'm not very creative with them but they have meaning to me LOL

    LMAO - I know what you mean about getting REALLY nervous quickly when you can't see your snake LOL

    I like the Reptile Prime - it hold humidity well, is SUPER absorbent without being saturated, easy to spot clean, and like we're talking about - the snakes can burrow. You'll have to try it and see for yourself I guess, grab a bag at the show and try it - just because it works for me doesn't mean you'll like using it.

    Have fun at the show!!!!
