You got your boa in a closet with no belly heat at all and just lamps? Your boa is gonna get sick. Get a thermostat and get some belly heat in there. Kane mats are good and made for the purpos of being ins9ide a cage. A closet is a bad place for a snake because heat rises, and your snake is on the floor, there's a large volume of air to heat up and all your warm air will be on the ceiling. Maybe a circulation fan would help. For the shed problems, make a humidity bin, but tend to the other problems. You have too much volume of air to heat efficiently, you have no belly heat at all. Do you have guages for temperatures and humiditdy? What's the temp on the floor where the boa lives? What's the humidity? How is there a basking spot now? What temp is the basking spot? Is there a way for the snake to thermoregulate, ie a warmer and cooler parts of the floor? What are the temps there?

>>OK well as seen before ive posted pics of my cage and all in the closet....Its heated by 2 overhed lamps with infared bulbs....Everytime my boa sheds I soak her in warm water and spray her down every night in the shed cycle....its getting annoying....but I have to because the lamps make the humidity so low...I was thinking should I put a small space heater in there for heat and then get rid of the lamps....But if I did that I do not know how Id make a hot spot....I do have a large dragon's lair heat mat for boas but ..well i guess i could use that but I have no thermostat...or should I stop beingm lazy and just soak her while shes in shed?

>>thanks alot

>>Mike
