Hi there !
Just wondering if i can get some help with a couple of things.
My neighbours came over ( today actually ) and gave me their BP ( female, almost 3 ft long, BIG girl too ). They have a newborn baby at home and no longer have the time to care for this snake.
Ive got leopard geckos, and a Columbian Rainbow Boa at the moment and I have kept a variety of Colubrids before...but never a BP. ( ive had some expereince with friends pets and "snake-sitted" before but thats about it )
The information i was given is that shes eating LIVE prey. Can anyone tell me if i can change this successfully ?? I dont want to feed her live prey and would like to switch to fresh killed or thawed. Can i do this or will she be fussy and stick with the live?
Also...I dont know how large of a cage she will need ( i would like to have her in one big enough to last her the rest of her life .... meaning something that is good to house an adult in ) . Right now shes in a 20 gallon and i dont want to keep her there ( its temporary considering i dont have anything else right now. )
If i make something...what will the cost be approx?
Also, shes got a heat lamp on her, there are thermometers at both ends of her tank, a hide hut and relatively good humidity so far.
I've heard that theyre renowned for being escape artists so shoudl i be puchasing a lock of some type ?
So any adive for a noob would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
K.
