...and I certainly do like them. I haven't had problems with their requirements or temperments. It is all about how you choose to enclosure one and what your expectations are. Most of the babies are nippy until they become accustomed to your handling. With regular handling they settle down quite quickly. They do require high humidity and temperatures lower than some other boas. I keep mine at a constant high humidity and temps no hotter than 80 degrees. They have grown and bred under these conditions. They are not picky eaters if their requirements are met. I would say that the only drawbacks are that they are not usually visible during the daylight hours and that they don't sit still for extended periods of time.



My advice is to set them up correctly intitially so you won't have to be worried about their humidity. If you don't dry them or fry them, they will do well.
