Re: I've joined the club

Whenever I go field herping in summer months I also keep an eye out for those perfect sticks and branches to be used in enclosures. Once I get them home I treat them to ensure they are sanitized and cut them to fit the enclosure they will be for.

Re: I've joined the club

How do you sanitize large pieces of wood?

In the bath tub with a bleach solution. Once scrubbed a very very thorough rinse and good to go.

Re: I've joined the club

Little guy shed, and seems to keep the tree boa status. Didn't even go to the ground to shed. Seems I'll have quite the job making climbing branches to support his full size.

He may just switch as he grows older and bigger to be less of a climber.

Re: I've joined the club

Thanks he is a cute little guy.

@Aaron I've heard that before. It would be kind of cool to see the same behavior as an adult even if that becomes a challenge to create lol

Re: I've joined the club

Actually, I bought a hardcover book on boas some time back. I seem to remember reading that they aren't really inclined to stay on the ground, more often lurk in bushes or low trees, and strike their prey from above. Our BCI's are quite comfortable climbing and hanging about on branches at night, but retreat under cover through the day.

Re: I've joined the club

Mine seems to go through phases, sometimes he is up in the trees day and night and then on the ground for days. Last few days he buried himself in the cypress until he was fed then hung out in the open for a bit. I'll need to add some more cover him. Still tweaking the cage.
