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!!
    For a boa, I think your cage is too hot, also humidity is too high. Cool side about 77* is fine, warm side about 86*, basking not over 88-90*. Humidity about 60%.
    More vent holes should help. As far as this boa feeling cold, remember that most all snakes feel cold to us because we're 98.6*...& also when we handle some snakes
    that need lower temperatures (such as corn snakes) the reason they don't want to sit still is because we're making them too warm & uncomfortable. Sometimes you
    need to watch where your snake spends time to see what they like: the BCI I had for many years often liked the cool side (75-78*) but used the basking area & the
    UTH-heated hide too...and she remained healthy.
