my colombians and central americans...

They are all kept just the same, other than size of enclosure.

I only use Boaphile cages, mostly the 421D model for adult females and blanket box racks for adult males.

If I had females over 8', I would consider the 422D.


One of the only major differences is cooling for breeding.

The colombians are very delicate at this time.

The Argentines need to be cooled quite a bit more, even into the 60's... so they are much more forgiving with temperature fluctuation, and much hardier in that sense.



Oh, and they are FAMOUS for the HUFF AND PUFF attitude, but rarely bite, unless you let them fool you with that attitude and let them continue into adulthood. DON'T GIVE IN! lol


Best Wishes! Joe Rollo Bci Joe
