Re: Temperature settings for baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa

I would recommend keeping the temps the same, as long as there is no lighting involved. It is not necessary to provide night dips in temperature, and for babies this can even stress them out. Try to provide the same temperature both day and night, this will allow your baby boa to get comfortable and used to it's environment.

On what evidence are you basing this? I would always advocate a temperature drop at night for snakes regardless of age.
It is a perfectly natural phenomenon in the wild so why not replicate it in captivity?
All my snakes have been provided with drops similar to the drops they'd experience in the wild (so for example my Natrix natrix experiences a larger drop than say But imperator) and they all thrive and show no signs whatsoever of stress.
