I check my temps last night. My air temp is about 85 under ceramic heater. That would not include the added temp of the heating pad under the hide. Do you think that is too hot?



I'll try the spraying and mouse in the hide box. Thanks!

>>Sounds like a security issue. That, or temperature.

>>Been my experience Argentine Boas get pretty stressed out when temperatures are too high.

>>Try keeping the temp at 80F to 84F.

>>No bright lights. Spray a little moisture (water) into the gage with a plant spray bottle.

>>Provide a hide. If using a live mouse, kill it first and leave it halfway into the hide box. Snake inside hide, of course.

>>Do this in the evening.

>>Check in the morning.
