I am moving my 4.5 ft boa from a glass tank to a bigger wooden enclosure. I'm testing out different bulbs with different wattage. At the pet store they have exo-terra bulbs of all different kings (basking, day spot, etc.). i was wondering

A) what are ideal temperatures/humidity for a red tailed boa

B) is one 24hr heat lamp on all the time enough? should it emit a lot of light?

C)recmmendations for type of bulb, brand, etc?


also, my boa spends all of its time burried in the shavings of its tank. will it be a problem if she doesn't hav shavings in the new enclosure (instead, just a normal hide box)?
