Sometimes the pink belly will indicate an upcoming shed. Our 7' female gets real hissy if she's disturbed while in blue.

Head to the local WalMart and get a human heating pad (without auto-shut-off) for under the cage, set on low and monitor the temps. Use a couple of pencils or chopsticks to raise the bootom a little to allow for airflow so the pad does not overheat. Pads are around $10-$12 usually, much cheaper than the 'reptile mats' that will need a rheostat as well. Good luck.

Have you ever kept a snake as a pet before. Why would you clean the tank with peroxide and then freeze the stuff. Use a 10% bleach solution to clean stuff, or go buy terrarium cleaner, which is made specifically for cleaning your terrarium and stuff inside it. I think you should read about boas and how to keep them.

Well we went to the vet and she's perfectly healthy, and actually she might be a he,.... but thats besides the case. Anyhow, I got a heating pad for the bottom and an extra spot light. I havnt seen any mites for at least a week now, and the vet couldnt find any either. She's back to being herself again now too. She hasnt been being agressive at all pretty much since the mites died down. So everything's peachy.
