Home base
This girl loves waiting poised for an ambush in this little trench she’s made. There’s an actual snake shaped groove down to the enclosure floor in the aspen. In an old post by Gus Renfro below he mentions their possible perception of a “home range” with loose wood substrates that offer more stimulation than paper substrate. (Excuse the sub par photo, LED enclosure lights on an iPhone in the dark is just a bad combo)
Just kind of curious if others have noticed interesting routines/behaviors/etc with boas on either substrate that might be intriguing to talk about.
Cheers,
JMC

Re: Home base
My boas when younger always buried there self in the deep substrate and I'd often see just a snoot sticking out, boas really are great fun

Talk about digging yourself a fox-hole...that really demonstrates how they'd survive in the wild & what they'd prefer we give them as pets.
Reminds me of when I raised rosy boas...as the neonates each got their own housing, I gave them deep Carefresh (softer texture in those days) because I
noticed they loved to tunnel into it...like an ant farm. Adorable to watch, but behavior that served them well if they'd been wild. The Carefresh stuck together
enough so that their tunnels mostly remained as escape routes from the huge & scary thing that lurked, often watching them. (-me)

Home base
Just remembered this thread and thought I’d update. Didn’t realize that’s how much this girl has grown since I first posted this. For scale reference, pic #1 is next to an RBI small hide
Pic #2 next to an RBI medium hide. Nose is a bit hidden in the foreground, under the substrate.
Both pics along the same side of the same enclosure, half of a divided AP T8
