Madagascan Ground Boa

cpuslb Apr 21, 2010 03:33 PM

So i'm reasonably familiar with care of Dumeril's Boas and have owned a few for several years now. The other day I was in my local reptile pet store and found a decent price on a Madagascan Ground Boa and ever since I first saw one several years back I have had my eyes set out for one. Naturally I jumped on the opportunity and picked it up. I have a general idea of there care and understand they like it a little more humid than the Dumeril's. But every web site I can find says they both the same snake and I know this is not true. Does anyone have any good links or info on the care of this snake for me? I just want a little more info to make sure I have my info accurate.

Although mine are still fairly young, I've found them really easy to take care of. I'd say put a larger water dish in for a little more humidity and it should be fine. And get a bigger cage.
