Re: Boa Question

I monitor my temps using a hydrofarm grow may controller,very simple,very stable. The heat in my tank comes from a mixture of a red 80watt bulb an a 100watt che. I also have a heat mat in the lower section of the tank. I built my tank so it gas a warm sun room an a cooler tropical room. The temps in the upper are 70-80 warm side 60ish cool side. The lower level remains at about 75 degrees with humidity being around 50%. I bathed her again tonight an just built a humidifier today. Will post pics soon.

I've had conflicting info on feeding. In general, is a large eat every there to four weeks enough for a 6 foot bci. She's long but not a fatty. I want her to be healthy not nessacary huge either. Some ppl say more,some less. I need info!

She looks really good to me. I would bump her up a size or two if you plan to keep her at a monthly feeding schedule. I will get you a pic of my 6.5' female eating a rabbit.

You really need to bump all of your temps by a lot. I would also recommend replacing the screen top with something solid to help hold humidity. Your current humidity is kinda low in the bottom and I guarantee it is way low in the too half. Your snake shouldn't have to chose between proper temps and proper humidity.
