Here's how your boas should cooperate during cage maintenance and cleaning.. by going right back in on cue.

.. this level of cooperation isn't achieved overnight.. best to start early! .. here's a new kid just learning about 50 gallon cans!

lol, nice. I have a couple I need to train it looks like, as it stands they think once the door is open if food isn't involved they are allowed to go where ever they want.

Try group therapy..
.

.
.. general walk-abouts can also be helpful.. back to nature type..
.

.
.. or domesticated type walks..
.

.
.. and don't hesitate to think outside the cage... start with front-door training then work into cage-door training.
.

Get started training your boas today!

Gus, Looks like you have a huge infestation of drop dead gorgeous Peruvian dancing girls which I heard can lead to big problems. Dam, wish I had your problems my man. I don't think they've come up with an adjective that does those boas justice. Seriously though how do you find the strength to turn off the lights and deny your eyes such beauty. Good luck and best wishes. Andrew

Saw in your pics that you use Aspen bedding, is Aspen better to use than newspaper for vision cages?
