So I have an 7-8 month old boa who is growing getting quickly and is very food driven to the point that if I walk by the enclosure she enters feeding mode. I tried to get her out today with a hook and she bit the hook and my hand multiple times. I don’t want to get rid of her at all but I can’t figure out a way to get her feeding response down. I’ve tried tap training and everything but she’s always just so hungry. If anyone can help with this please do🙏🏻🙏🏻

He's about 6" long, and I've personally have had him for over 10 years old

2 tapped the mouse. Still ready for more afterwards.

Vous aussi vous avez un boa qui ce comporte comme un chat ?

Il est sidérant et adorable 😁

I put her down after making sure she was healthy. She's a Suriname BCC crossed with a Lipstick Line Kahl Albino Boa Imperator. She's about 2 months old :)

So I'm feeding Frankie tonight, a large rat like normal, except the only difference is I'm not making the rat dance for him. Instead, I put it on this pan and wanted to see if he would figure it out. But he's just been inching very slowly out from under his hide because he's in mite treatment and he's been doing this little dance with his head. What in the world is this? Should I be worried r is this just him being weird?

I just purchased two new boas (1x Sunglow Purple - European line and 1x blood hypo - also European line). The blood hypo seems to be very active and in beautiful condition so far as I can tell but the Sunglow Purple is throwing me off a little; first and foremost, this is my first time owning these (I do own carpet pythons, ball pythons, sunbeams, corns etc) so I'm not as familiar with the morphs themselves. So I guess the first question is does the Sunglow Purple generally look like this? All the pictures I saw on Google were far lighter in base color, and more importantly are there any neurological issues I should be aware of with this morph? I ask this because it seems to fling itself around a lot when I'm holding it (briefly since I know stress might be contributing to that) rather than gracefully slither around like the other one. I also noticed it had a kinked tail which wasn't disclosed so I'll more than likely address that at a vet check up to make sure it's ok, is the flailing something I should also have checked out? Pics of both attached. Thank you in advance for any responses.

Pics of Sunglow Purple added but can get more if needed.

Such a cute little guy

Caught him basking today for the first time! He's a little guy in his new big boy tank and it's taken a couple months for him to get comfortable, I'm so happy to finally see him showing off after a fresh shed and a juicy rat 🥳

I’m in the process of getting an emerald tree boa

I know their care is advanced but I believe I’m experienced enough to succeed. But I wanna know if there’s anything else I should know or add to my list

Enclosure size:
6x3x3
Substrate:
Reptisoil, coconut fiber, cypress mulch, false bottom with clay pebbles
Items:
RHP 80W vivarium electronics
Mistking system
Zoomed climate control thermostat
Decor:
Monstera
Hibiscus
Pothos
Cork bark
Large sticks about three going across the enclosure

I'm setting up a bioactive enclosure for my bci and wanted to get your advice on the best substrate mix. I'm also curious if the type of isopods I use makes a difference. I've come across different opinions and information online about specific isopod species being better suited for my girls setups, and I'd love to get your take on whether it truly matters.

Got Tana a little over a month ago. First shed!

I love this dude’s derpy ass face 🥺
2yo VPI Snowglow BCI

He’s now 10 months old and weighing around 120 grams last time I checked! He was 7 months old and 89 grams when I got him!

So I’m THINKING about getting an adult male bci that some one is adopting out.
I’m not opposed to pvc’s but I would absolutely love to see your grow tent set ups for your snakes as that’s easier on the pockets and you can get huge ones for the fraction of the price.

I also would like to know what is a good type of heat source for a tent. Heating panel for the top like inside a pvc? or a heat emitter but since that doesn’t produce light what extra lights would you use? Any type of UVBs or can I use a basking light in there with the protective cover on it to keep snake from burning its self instead of the heat emitter. Tents would be new to me. I’m used to the typical front open glass and PVCs for my snakes but I haven’t own something quite this big yet. So I’m looking into something different for this one.

I’m getting a boa at an expo next month! It will be my first snake(I fully understand how big they get don’t worry, I’ve done my research)

For his first 8 or so months with me, I’m keeping them in a 100l or so tub, and because I live in a cold dry area(central Canada) a guide I’m following says to have UTH on both the cool and warm side. This person also specifically said about 1/3 the tank for the warm side and 1/2-2/3 the tank on the cooler side.
For reference in the summer my house my reach 24C/75F in the day, but for the most part my house is between 18C/64F - 20C/68F.

My tubs base is 22”x31”, so getting 3 of these mats would fit, with the two on the cooler side being on the same probe.

Anyone have any experience with these heat pads? Or do you at least think they make sense with what I’m doing?

Looking at getting to little female and was wondering if I could get some help on morph. Lady said she is a hypo het anery.

I blinked and it was gone
