Just bought Dumerils Boa

Grats on the nice Dum forza_inter and welcome to the forum.

What are you using to measure the temperature in your tank? 1 heat source should be okay, and if you find the light is working well than I wouldn't bother adding a mat. If you do find that you need to use a heat mat and a heat lamp, they should be on the same side, as you want one side of the enclosure to be warm and one cooler.

Both of my little guys are in 20L Critter Cages with aspen bedding and an UTH for a heat source. Though as stated above there are several options for substrate and heating, you just have to figure out what works best for you and your snake.

Dums usually like to borrow, so plenty of substrate is always nice. For your enclosure I would recommend more cover (some plants or vines) and/or attach a print or aquarium backing to the sides and back of the tank to make it seem more enclosed.

I find I need to up the humidity when my guys go into shed so I give them a moist hide, mist occasionally and partially cover there tanks with a damp towel.

Good luck with your new girl and don't forget to post more pics of her once she's settled in.
