So now that I have found the Longicauda folks, is there anything I should be doing different for these snakes? I currently have them in 32 qt sterilite tubs, hot spot of 85 at surface, 92-94 at below the aspen. The cool side is 72-74. The male has a bit of retained shed, and the female looks like she has been shedding good. I usually mist my boas when they are blue, is this still good practice for these snakes?

I tried to call the guy I got them from but got no answer. I was fairly confident he was honest with me about their lineage. There was another vendor at the show selling offspring from the same clutch, but for a higher price. And he even pointed me to the guy I got them from. I dont know if anyone here has been to the St. Louis shows, but they are not too bad really. Not the NARBC, but lots of good folks, and its fun.

What matters most is that I am happy with them, and hope they do well for me. I am going to try feeding them Sunday for the first time, if they both shed by then.

Thanks for all the input,
Chris
