what should i use for heat at night time for a RTB....should i change thelight bulbs or what!?!?!?

i use an under the tank heater for my boa....actually, it's a heating pad for humans that I got at Kmart for like $15 bucks. Get the kind that doesn't have the automatic shut-off device. Do you have a temperature gauge with a probe? That will keep your heat temps right.

Did you just get this boa?

well i got it like 8 months ago i just wasnt sure about the temps at night time. yea i use a heat pad to

How's the shed coming? Is the old skin off his head yet?

...levels around 50% or so. You are in Dayton, Ohio? We're in the same neighborhood.

What are you keeping your boa in?

...my digital thermometer that i just got has a diff reading than my stick on ones should i go by the digital one or what!?!

Yes go by the digital one it is more accurate.. If the shed stays on his head try and bump the humidity up to 70 -75% this might work. You could also give him a bath.
