OK well Here is my setup I just want opinions on it...MY female boa is 3' and feeding on small rats weekly.....Shes in a 29 gallon tank with aspen bedding and a hide on each side.....There is a large water dish in the cage also and a rock tyo aid shedding.....There is a screen top on top with a 10" dome heat lamp with a 150w red bulb....the top is covered mostl;y...that brings the hot side at around 90 and cool side around 77.....Humidity is only about 40% but I ttried and theres no way to raise it misting molds the apsen...and water dish cant go higher......And its too cold without the heat lamp...anyway I was wondering if my setup is ok?? Aslo Would shedding be ok if like 3 days aftyer the blue eyes go away I soaked her in warm water or after I seen her start to shed and then put her back in her cage would she be able to shed good in one peice??

Aslo when shes around 4' shell be in a 6'x3' closet......cement floors , plywood walls....heated with 2 heat lamps out of reACH at the top of the closet to provide ambient temps and a large heat mat for basking temps all this with aspen bedding...so Hows all tghis sound thanks alot
Mike
