New to forum and snakes!
Hi everybody and first of all sorry for my English... ^^
I always loved animals and I recently fell in love with a 5 months old Boa Constrictor, Athena, and took her home but I almost have no idea where to start from (and I'm not sure a Boa is the best for a newbie.....! :P).
The seller needs a pause sometimes, so here I am!
Nice to meet you.

Re: New to forum and snakes!
Welcome and best wishes. I don't keep boas but I'm sure some of the experienced boa keepers can help you with husbandry tips. For starters make sure you have a reliable heat source that's controlled by a thermostat. If you haven't already, you can read a few care sheets for your heating, humidity and feeding guidelines. Post pics of your snake and enclosure when you can.

Re: New to forum and snakes!
Sorry but I'm not the kind of keeper to give you all the answers. However I have looked up just a few sources that I used when I started. They may not ALL have the best info, but this will give you an idea of what you need to do. Once you get a little more knowledge, then we'll focus on specific answers, but for right now you need it all, so here it is!
Colombian Boa Constrictor Care Sheet

PS: Boa's CAN be great starter snakes, just be aware they do get larger than Ball Pythons or Corn Snakes.
PPS: Google can be a great source to use, just make sure you cross reference your data to make sure it's correct.
