After spending ages reading up on the differnt species available, I've finally got my second snake - A 2 month old female Brazilian Rainbow Boa. She SOOOOOOO cute!!! 95 quid - bargain!
I'm aware BRB's are much more demanding pets than my current Corn, so I'm just gonna outline my cage setup - can you let me know if I've gone wrong anywhere...
Enclosure - Large, Flate exo terra. I've covered 2 thirds of the top with a damp towel to dry to retain moisture. I'll keep this damp, plus mist twice a day. I plan to move to a tall viv when she gets bigger
Heat - Heat mat under half the tank, mat stat sensor mid cage in the air, set to 80f. Not sure if position of the sensor is right? I'll leave it on 24hrs a day.
Substrate - Beech chips (supplied by shop). Think I may change this to paper towels or something that holds moisture better.
Furnishings - Large water dish in warm end. Dry hide each end. Humid box with spagnum moss mid cage.
Gonna leave in a quite room till next Saturday before feeding - 1 pinkie a week.
Have I missed anything / got anything wrong? Now gotta find her a boyfriend...
