Finalized my list for my new and upcoming Red Tail BCI! corrections?

Here's a picture of the three RBI 2x3x1 boa cages. The middle one has nothing to climb on as K' la prefers to be in the aspen or under the paper! The plastic cups are filled with long fiber moss as our humidity in the summer is about 20% and the temps are, right now, about 95F outside. The RHP's in each cage work great and the Helix is set at 88:

A picture of Zelda, in blue, in her cage. She weighs 500g and is a yearling:


For contrast (or not) here's the three ball python 2x3x1 RBI cages. Each cage houses a 1100+g female:

Wow, alot of snakes compared to my one, and soon to be two snakes. haha Those RBI cages are nice though! I noticed in the one picture the AcuRite read 82.2 IN/82.4 OUT. Where did you put your probe at for the OUT reading on the AcuRite? And i know most boas would just use the branch to regulate their body temp by getting closer to or farther away from the RHP. I guess what i'm trying to say is what do you use to measure your basking spot for your boas? Thanks once again for the help and the pics! This helps alot

Or should my question be .."Do ball pythons thermoregulate differently from red tail bci's?" lol

[starmom]

I use the temp gun to measure ground temps and the Accurite to measure ambient temps and humidity. I don't use the probe on it at all
Also, I think you can see what Jimi was getting at: Add another 12 inches to these cages and you've got a pretty darn big space for a little bitty boa!

Ahhhhhh. i see. A temp gun would be a nice investment lol And yeah another foot for a baby boa, ..that would be an awfuly big cage

Don't waste your money on the Zoomed Aspen. Same stuff as what is in the small pet section for 1/4 of the price. You can get a 4.5 cu ft bale of it at Petsmart or Petco for $12 I believe

Don't waste your money on the Zoomed Aspen. Same stuff as what is in the small pet section for 1/4 of the price. You can get a 4.5 cu ft bale of it at Petsmart or Petco for $12 I believe

If they have that, ill just get that instead of the zoomed. I really wasn't going to turn the whole cage into aspen substrate, I was just going to make a section in the cage where the boa could go if he wants to burrow,etc.
