First time boa owner, questions.

andybourassa Apr 17, 2005 01:19 PM

I just got my first snake today. It is a red-tailed colombian boa. It is about 2 feet long currently and right now I have it set up in a 29-gallon aquarium with orchid bark substrate, a water bowl, 2 hide spots (one terra cotta and one slab of cork bark) and an assortment of different-sized grape-wood pieces that form a little playground up to his basking spot. I know the 29-gallon will not suffice for very much longer, but for the time being, is there anything I'm missing? Thanks alot.

Andy

You didn't mention what temps you have. Hot spot should be about 90 - 95 degrees, ambient air temp should be in the low to middle 80's. Humidity should be between 50 and 60 %.
