Hi i need some questions answered. I've been reading alot of good information about the Brazilian Rainbow Boas. I wanted these questions answered before i purchased my Boa in September.
Is the day-glow basking spot lamp and the night-glow infrared heat lamp alright to use with a Dome heat and light reflector?I also want to use a ceramic heat emitter is that too much for my future pet? I have a fifty gallon aquarium that i plan to use, will i have to change to a bigger tank, because i read that i'd only need a forty gallon. Is it better to keep a baby Brazilian in a shoe box when you first get him/her home, or can you just put him/her in the tank. When's the best time of day to handle a new Boa? Can anyone give me some advice on which way is the best way to approach a new snake? I've never owned a snake and i don't have any real idea on how to pick one up properly? I've also read alot about inclusion body disease and i just wanted to know if its really common with the Brazilian Rainbow Boa? All i can say is its got me kinda freaked. I've read alot about how to deal with the miner ailments, but if anyone can give me some pointers i'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your help. Rose
