This is cross-posted in the Rainbow Boa specific forum, but I figured I'd post here as well in case some people don't visit the sub-forum that regularily.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm planning on getting a baby and I have a few questions to clarify:

How long do they get? I've read that they max out at 7 feet and I've read that they max out at 5, so I wanted to get advice from owners. I'm planning on getting a male.

How is their general health as long as humidity and heating requirements are met?

What do you use for humidity control?

What type of overhead heating would you recommend? For my Ball Python I use an infrared 50 watt and that seems to keep the tank temp at a nice 80-90 degrees.

Any other advice would be helpful.
