Re: Rainbow not eating right

Dang this thread got long quick. I check temps with one of those digital thermometers that have the sensor in the Viv and display outside. I don't have anything to check for humidity but when i change substrate aspen shavings i spray it down with a spray bottle because it sucks all of the moisture out of the air. His last sheds were very good all in one big piece. Also i would consider myself a noob. This is the first snake i have ever taken care of. I'll post pics of the Viv and Sunny tonight.

Re: Rainbow not eating right

From your replies it's obvious that you got upset over the OP waiting for others to reply and are now turning that on me because i dared to quote/discuss your advice.. No I didn't have to quote you, but I chose to as it was relative to the points I was making. I at no time said you were wrong, just pointed out the issues that could arise.

I'll back out of this thread now because I'm not here to argue with you, but if you don't like the way I reply then your going to have a great time here as I'm one of the polite ones.. Have fun.

Re: Rainbow not eating right

Twice in 24 hours my posts have been questioned and scrutinized, and I was just trying to be helpful.I am not upset at the op. what set me off was that it was stated that 85 is very very dangerous. Could have fooled me, I guess I have been keeping them wrong all along. Good luck to you sufurhead

Thought I'd join back in to quote you again.. Actually valvaren said "very very extreme bordering on dangerous"...

Re: Rainbow not eating right

No I couldn't help myself, your snotty replies just seem to attract me.... I joined back in as I thought the thread would take a better turn once I saw Wayne's reply... You know, DISCUSSING opposing ideas and having a good old debate in the subject at hand..

Instead I seem to have been sucked into an argument with a fool just because your having a cry over someone making a point in reference to the advice you have given... The funny thing is, I never once said you were wrong...

Oh well, get the thread back on track for the OP's sake if nothing else.

Re: Rainbow not eating right

And he reverts to name calling now... lol mighty mature of you kid, All this time I thought my points were relevant to the op's subject, Its funny I never said you were wrong either, but since neither of us has any clue as to what size enclosure the op has we are both grasping at straws bickering back and forth...
I enjoyed discussing the facts, thanks for keeping me entertained this afternoon.:

Re: Rainbow not eating right

Lol I actually agree with your temps Gluttony, I keep mine with an 85f hotspot.. I just tried to point out that a noob may make the mistake of overheating as over 85 stresses them out.

Re: Rainbow not eating right

Jay-Its cool brother, I am not worried about it, I was the one being sensitive since I caught heat over me feeding in separate tubs yesterday. But that issue is neither here nor there.

Sulfur-I am unsure as to keeping brbs on aspen though. I have never tried or have seen it recomended. Not to say that it cant be done. But it does not hold humidity well. The younger the boa the more humidity it needs. I use orchid bark, mixed with nature bark and coconut husk. along with lots of different mosses in the hides and out.

Re: Rainbow not eating right

Raise temps a little and offer it food again in a couple of days so don't stress it out.
