So she's not quite banana size. I've read that boas can take comparatively larger prey than a corn snake. And I haven't found any information on what size they generally like. The person I bought her from said she was feeding her 2 hoppers. Every WEEK. yipes. From what I read the snake should be obese by now. I'm going to let her go a full 21 days before feeding from here on out.

That is a beautiful animal in that photo. I guess my snake was just hanging on for dear life instead of trying to teach me a lesson or something . Looks like in the photo yours has a good grip on your arm.

At first I wasn't sure if these snakes are generally nervous or if they calm down. I guess they vary across the board.

Hopefully next week she'll be ready to come out of the cage and say hi.

One thing I'm still concerned about - my substrate is 84 degrees over the heat pad. But the air temp is hanging around 72 throughout the cage. The humidity stays around 60%. Does this sound OK? I'd rather keep a higher background temperature but I'm finding it difficult.

Thanks for the responses guys! Keep them coming!
