I actually have/breed those adults in the older boaphile blanket box racks - they had lower wattage flexwatt... Jeff liked to play it 'ultra-safe'... lol
I know the newer models and the RhinoRaxx have a higher wattage and much stronger flexwatt, so temps will need to be regulated accordingly.
Aside from that, I make sure she has fresh water (obviously), and I like to mist the drawer every few days, although have found it not necessary.
Pretty funny... I picked up some adults from someone that was getting rid of them. The largest female was scarred over more than 30-40% of her body! Almost her whole top half! (that part's definitely NOT funny, pretty sad actually...)
Anyway, the deal was bad from the getgo, and trying to talk to this guy about it would've done about as much good as talking to a tree.
She was large but not fat, but with some good feeding I figured she could make a good breeder right?
So this was about a month ago, and I was worried since she refused food since then, well I peak in last week and she's sitting on a mound of about 10 eggs! Lol.. gotta love it!  ----- Thanks and take care - Joe Rollo
