Personally I dont like overhead heat sources,muchless heat lamps

They pretty well defeat everything concerning boas.Try getting the proper under cage heating element and your husbandry issues will minimize greatly.Boa do not need constant 65% humidiy unless their in a blue cycle.





>>i built my first big enclosure for my boas. it's 68 inchs long. i'm just worried because the warm side is running 40% humiditly while the cool side is 65%. they are spending all their time on the warm side and she is close to shedding.

>>a: is it normal for the hot spot to have low humidity

>>b: will a che effect the humidity less than an infra-red light(waiting for che in the mail).
