as far as keeping them goes you can keep in the same ranges as Bci. they are more cold tolerant then most boas and don't seem to mind cool temps, but it not really needed. I have seen then happily cursing their cages and breed in the high 50's but i wouldn't try it. they breed just fine at normal boa temps. they will climb more then most other boas and seem to enjoy hanging out in branches and the lips on visions. the biggest difference is that they are a dwarf and need to be feed as such. I feed smaller meals to them then i would a Colombian of the same size. i keep mine on mice for the first year and don't offer rats at all for that first year. also i don't worry about them skipping meals. i offer food ever 7 days but if they show interest in 30 seconds or so they don't get feed. my female general eat every week but males often skip a couple here and there. my old breeder male would only eat ever 6 weeks or so (i'd offer he just didn't care most of the time).
