    Re: Help! Rescue red tail boa!

    I am out but will write some parameters when I get home.

    Basically:

    Hot side: 86-88f

    Ambient: About 80f or a little higher.

    Cool side: 77-80f.

    Some people say lower for cool side. However. BCI’s like 60-75%+ humidity. I bump to 75-80% when in shed. Do not get respiratory infections as easily as BPs but can get. I don’t like high humidity with low temps. Less margin for error.

    If eating large rats could be a juvenile or a normal male BCI.

    An an adult male at 6-9 pounds can do great on large rats.

    Please get a weight and we can advise on what and how often to feed.

    Very food driven. Be careful when feeding and realize they will think foood for a long time.

    If you keep him for a while or find a good home. I’d recommend hook training.

    Usually puppy dogs when out but want food all the time.

    I’ll write more later.

    Good luck.
