    At least 86 degrees minimum warm side, 88 would be better. 78 degrees cool. And 60 to 70 percent humidity should be great. Hope that helps.

    60-70% humidity can be deadly for a baby rainbow boa and anything over 85 is too hot. Thanks.

    I think I trust some of the more specialized experienced breeders over a generalized reptile magazine. Thanks. I do appreciate your response and help. I really just don’t think my temps or humidity are an issue. Was just wondering if the lump was normal after that amount of time. Thanks again, I do appreciate your input!

    Care is a bit different and more sensitive for neonates. Adults are fine with 70% humidity, but neonates are better with 95-100+%. I think adults do better with higher than 70%, that is more of a minimum.

    And to answer your question no it is not normal snakes need heat to digest. When they don’t have the proper heat and humidity it can take almost double the time for them to digest what should take a day or two. You quoted care sheets that you obviously didn’t read. Your right! rainbow boas do require a little less heat but the answers we gave you where a lot closer and probably a lot healthier then what you are at now. What we quoted you is for more of a general boa setup. But once again. A lot closer to the real numbers then what you are actually keeping the boa at. Why ask a question if you don’t like the answer. We all are just giving you information from OUR experience.

    Thank you, I appreciate the input. I will raise the hot spot to 84-85. I’ve just read a lot and lower temps seem to be better for rainbows. The original temps and humidity you recommended me seemed off. Thanks though!
