Re: New Addition
Can't know for sure by looking at it, but it looks to be a colombian boa constrictor. The heat source needs to be controlled with a thermostat that you can set a certain temperature to.I would give it a bigger enclosure, one without a screen top. Most bci need above average humidity (around 65-75%). Heat lamps and screen tops don't work well in keeping in humidity.
I would recommend using a heat mat as it is easier for your boa to lay on a hot surface on the ground than keep itself perched on that slanted log which looks a bit small for her.
I don't see a problem with feeding her a rat on Friday. However most people recommend waiting a week or two to let a snake settle in before feeding.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, you should provide at least two hides. One on the warm end, and one on the cool end.
