    Re: Just a few questions

    Check out the care sheet on here. Really good info

    Re: Just a few questions

    Thanks theres some really good info but I also want to know once they get bigger what kind of set ups do you keep them in and things of that nature. Ive had some people tell me its really hard to keep rtb's and some say its a breeze.

    If you have basic husbandry knowledge, they are a breeze. Easier to care for than a BP IMO.

    Re: Just a few questions

    Other than what the caresheet has to offer, a large boa will need a 4x2x2 enclosure to live in, minimum. If it's your only one, a six foot cage should be used. A large water dish, and really big rats. Not really sure what you are looking for that isn't in the caresheet, but just ask.

    Re: Just a few questions

    Well other than husbandry their temperment how aggressive things like that, I have 2 bp's that are doing beautifully so hopefully this will be a good experience as well

    Boas won't get anymore aggresive than your BPs. They are big babies for the most part.
