Pushing issues

I thought boas in general liked cooler temps. 70-75 cooler side and 80-85 hot side. I am sure someone will chime in here.

Quick search to check my information.

"There is no set perfect temperature for boa constrictors, rather it is more of ranges of acceptable temperatures. A hot side of your setup should usually range from 87 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit and the cold, or unheated side, of your enclosure should not reach below 75 degrees Fahrenheit."

80/90 is a great gradient with a boa, pretty much the standard I feel like. My Hog (which are known to prefer slightly cooler temps) has a cool side of 78 and loves it though.

I 100% agree with Richard though, and if you want to test out the theory.....take a shed from your female and put it in his cage. See if he responds, but I HIGHLY suspect he will. If that's the case you might have to move your female. The temps dropping this time of year along with the proximity to your female will trigger the mating response.
