Titan (young Dumeril's Boa) looking cute and hanging out on his moss "lounge" while he waits patiently for his new PVC enclosure to arrive.
Titan was given to me by a friend who decided to focus her efforts on a Ball Python breeding project, and wanted to be sure that Titan went to a good home. These Boas have jumped in popularity in the last year or two and she was worried someone would get him that might not commit to him or give him the right care.
I have humidity hides in most of my snakes' enclosures, but some like Titan prefer an open container or upside down hide filled with damp sphagnum moss - a moss 'lounge'. Like many Dums, Titan is very serene and has a really sweet temperament, though he has quite an exuberant feeding response, lol. Luckily he's a smart guy and has responded well to target training, so he is quite clear on the difference between feeding time and not-feeding time. I'm grateful to have him and will be glad when I can get him into his new PVC, where he'll have more room, a basking shelf, and other improvements over his current tub.
