Age of BCI

At what age is a common Boa considered an adult? Mine is a female BCI, 2 1/4 years old and already 6 foot. About 7 lbs. And I've been feeding sparingly. A medium rat every two weeks and she could...

Re: Where to locate thermostat sensor

Low is probably better. I may try both. An extra hole wouldn't hurt. Looks like that thing could use more ventilation anyways.

Re: Where to locate thermostat sensor

I just chatted with the builder on Facebook. He said to drill a hole just under the RHP and let it dangle a few inches below that. Basically, what you said. So that's what I'll do. I will keep an eye...

I just received a Boaphile snake cage which is 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. 17.5 inches high. They come in two sections which are bolted together to make that size. The left side has a radiant heat...

Re: Adult Female BCI Enclosure

Thanks, sounds like good advice. That should help and slow down her growth. Plus, she'll be getting exercise cruising her cage all day looking for food. I've never had a snake with such a strong...

Re: Adult Female BCI Enclosure

Thanks, yes that would be better than a huge Terrarium. Her feeding schedule has varied but I probably have been overfeeding. She's a machine and always hungry. I'm going to cut back on her feeding...

Re: Boa feeding

Do you know how old your Boa is. It always helps to give the age as well as the weight to better determine how much and how often to feed. I have a 21 month old female Columbian red tail BCI and...

Re: Boa bcc size

Nice snake. And it's good not to overfeed them when they're young. They get fat and then you have to starve them to get the weight off. Boa's have a slower metabolism than Pythons. Believe me, it'll...

Re: Aggressive Behavior

Always use tongs when feeding the snake so it doesn't associate your hand with feeding time. They don't have to be special snake tongs. Those made for the grill will do.
My 1 1/2 year old is a very...

Re: What's your favourite snake family?

I've owned many snakes. From a vicious African Rock python to a common hog-nosed snake. Boa constrictors are by far my favorite. They are easy to keep healthy, more than eager feeders, shed with no...

From the sound of it, you found a common Garter snake. These are not tropical snakes and thrive in Northern areas where they hibernate underground in the winter. These snakes, while docile, do not...

Re: Boa eats tail first-A Tip

Well, every snake I've ever owned has eaten frozen, thawed out prey. And they always do the same thing. They strike it and wrap around it like it was alive. Then they release and smell it foot tail...
