and I agree with Joe, a 2' cage is seems to small for this size boa, but you didn't give the rest of the dimensions. I would use at least a 3x2' cage for a boa over 5' but ideally at a 4x2' would be better.

ANYWAYS...
you are only using one sheet or two sheets of newspaper? Use lots more than that! It can't soak up any urates if it's only one sheet, at least, it seems it would be a lot more messy. I use about 6-8 layers of paper. I put them in longwise, widthwise and diagnol, all diff ways that way even if and when the snakes burrow in the paper there is always another 3-4 layers under that. Newspaper is so cheap anyways.
So, use more!



oh, and I also like to use bedsheets, the snakes can wrap up and hide in the sheets instead of destroying all the newspaper.
good luck,
April
