Just looking at that photo, I have the impression she is sniffing the fresh air exchange from the vent-holes, & that IS something a snake would normally do.

But I'll add that most of these plastic tubs also have chemical odors (& possibly unhealthy) as they are not designed for living creatures but only intended for
storage...please keep that in mind- no matter how many people find these convenient & inexpensive caging for snakes. (I do not use anything other than
glass tanks.) Snakes have a better sense of smell that we do, & I personally don't like how storage tubs smell so I can imagine that it's even more noticeable
to a snake kept inside...anyway, I think that's what she is doing.

Thanks for the thoughts! You know that’s something I never even thought about with the smell... that’s a valid point. I’m wondering if maybe I’ll add more holes for more ventilation like I have with some of my other tubs and then just mist more. I have had her for roughly two and a half weeks so she’s a newer addition. Humidity is at 80 wish a basking spot set at 97 and the other side is at 82. I’ve read multiple different suggestions for temps and went with what I thought she looked happiest at. Same thing I had to do with my BRB took quite a few adjustments. But Bermuda (this boa) felt pretty dang cold when my temps were under 80. What is your opinion for ideal temps? Always willing to change things since happy snakes are my goals!!
