Re: New member, but issue
If you can handle 2 pitbull's you should be fine with a single boa lol.. 10ft is a big bci, not that common from what I've seen but they do happen.

Re: New member, but issue
So far so good. Monique keeps wavering. I think she might be getting more comfortable with the idea of it all. We had Calliope out yesterday and she was loving the time out with Monique and I! Posted a few pictures of her in the Boa forum. Will definitely post more when I can.
On a side note, one of my pits have discovered her in the cage and was very confused! I explained that they were friends, but never going to "hang out." I think they were both ok with that LOL

Re: New member, but issue
Just teasing you mate, it's personal choice. How do you find keeping the temperature right in it? One thing I will suggest is that you cover the sides aswell as the back.

It is an ongoing practice to look at the temperature and adjust if needed, to include the humidity. It has become habit now, and we have been able to sustain the appropriate temp; however, will definitely try covering the sides. Could not pass up a free 55 gallon, especially after paying all the "start up" costs with adopting her.

Oh yeah, 4 of them - temp gradient, warm side between 90-95 and cool side mid 80's / another in the middle of the tank w/ humidity guage and then the last positioned at the bottom near the floor

Re: New member, but issue
Our dog was quite interested whenever the snakes moved when we first got them but now he barely notices them at all. One even struck the glass as he walked by and he didnt even look around
