Good morning! Thank you so much for your help, and for being so patient with me! I’m obviously new to forums haha.
Anyway, I have kept reptiles before, including turtles, a tortoise, a beardie, and lizards and little rat snakes I caught around my house as a kid in Florida. I’ve never kept a boa.
I researched for months before I got her. I have been wanting a boa, so I started with a corn snake that I’ve had for 6 months. She’s doing great, so I felt it was ready for me to move up. I am aware that my boa will get between 6-8 feet, and possibly up to 10 feet, and that won’t be problematic for me. I’m prepared to care for her appropriately. I am planning to feed her every 5-7 days while she's young.
For now, I have a 32qt sterilite container that I drilled holes into. I have an UTH, controlled by a thermostat. According to my infra red temp gun, the ambient temp is 78. I have a digital hygrometer/thermometer. The temp in the hot spot is 87 and humidity is 68%. I got her Sunday, July 22, at the White plains expo. She had shed and has had 2 feedings. She was eating F/T weaned mice, which is what I will continue her on for now. I am attaching a photo of her enclosure (thanks to your detailed explanation and the fact that I'm no longer trying to do this on my phone!)
