getting first ever pair of boas. couple questions.

[JimiSnakes]

i know alot of people use aspen for there boas, but i also read that they are more inclined to get digestive problems than balls. i had to take my ball off of aspen because the sub would always get in her mouth. would a baby be ok on newspaper and plenty of hides and foliage?

I've always had a personal issue with aspen leaving boas too close to the heat when they burrow. Whenever I used aspen I always put a layer or two of newspaper under it so it would create a more radiance of heat and not leave the boa exposed to the heat source so much.

i also want to keep them in tubs. will a uth be enough in a room about say..70 degrees? like a human temp room, not a heated snake room.

As long as the uth you use will allow the temps to compensate for the low room temps, sure. With my daughter's rosy boa (which is the only boa outside my snake room and in a tank) I used a smaller uth on the side to boost up the ambients and that's worked pretty darn good for us.

i've also noticed in alot of tank setups people have the aboreal bamboo sticks (don't know if i said that right) am i right in that boas like to climb? if i get a bamboo stick will they use it? i had some limbs for my ball but she never used it.

Boas are extremely curious and will use anything you put in there

just trying to make sure i have everythign in order before my FIRST EVER pair comes. i'm soo excited.

And so the addiction begins...
