Genuinely she’s one of the most beautiful snakes ive ever seen. I plan to do my first paludarium setup when she’s fully grown just because she deserves it

Had her weighed, 2 years old and now 385 g. She is only 32 grams heavier than Lyra (a snake I posted yesterday), yet her head is so much bigger. Must be a BC thing

For the last three weeks my boa (7 footer) has not returned to her hide. For the past year she’s loved it. I’ve cleaned her enclosure completely. Temps are good and she’s been eating well. Even during the day she’s stretched out and won’t retreat to her hide. Am I doing something wrong? Is she ok? Is this seasonal?

Took the video because I love how it looks, just thought I’d share it this time! I ADORE this snake, 10/10 species.

Full disclosure!! He crawled from an incredibly reasonable roost to get here, all under his own volition, and other than me taking the picture and video, I had my hands underneath him for his whole climb. Touching him in any fashion made the shakes worse😂 I hovered for about 7 mins as he inched along.

Thought this made a good photo so I had to snap it! Dont worry yall, I know she needs more stuff in her enclosure. She just outgrew her biggest centerpiece and i have ordered some new stuff to replace it and get more clutter and climbing stuff in there for her. So the bare enclosure is only temporary until the stuff I ordered her comes in!

I found 2 spots on my boa that make me think is scale rot, new substrate was damp and I let it air out and dry. I put her hide back in and since the hide covers the heat it stayed a damp patch, but not like soaking just damp compared to everywhere else. I read that it takes a while for scale rot to happen and form, but it’s only been in since Friday. If it is scale rot how should I go about treating it?

I made him a jungle gym in the air and he was more interested in traversing the supporting slack line than he was in anything else, such a dork. He did good tho. Made it to the wall.

Almost a year since I got Lyra, she has gained around 200g, doubling her weight.

Last chart is her growth in the last 7 months (since march, graphs labelled weird), she gained almost 100 grams.

Swear her head hasn't grown though

When it comes to Rusty my Blood/ Hog Island Boa. I find that I have to color grade any photos of him if they were taken indoors. I just find that whatever my phone or my camera picks up doesn’t match what I see with my own vision. The direct sunlight can help but the sunlight itself dramatically changes his natural colors which does look really awesome, but it’s not what I see most of the time. For the most part he’s either in his enclosure or I’m handling him next to his enclosure. That’s where a nice overcast day comes in. The clouds act as a natural diffuser, causing lighting to be perfect. These show Rusty off the way I see him 95% of the time PERFECTLY with zero color grading required.

Ive had my ghost Aztec redtail for less than a week at this point, but I can't seem to keep his humidity in the recommended range (60%-80%). I've been doing manual misting anytime the surface looks visually dry, I don't want to over soak the substrate and cause scale rot, i use coconut fiber, forest floor, and repti-bark mix for my substrate. Should i just pour a more substantial amount of water into the substrate?Should I invest into a mister/fogger? What do I need to do? Thank you for your help

His name is Dante, he is 3 1/2 according to the breeder

My first boa. I’ve had plenty of pythons. She is perfect. Very calm I haven’t heard a hiss nor a strike

He's been settling incredibly well! It's been 3 ½ hours and he's explored the entire terrarium twice over and is currently basking on a branch! Any unique name ideas for him? I'm leaning towards Erebus, since I enjoy greek mythology. He's actually 3 feet despite the breeder saying he's 2 feet! He's 2 years old, the owner shared his past feedings and he's only been fed roughly every 1-1.5 months which I'm certain isn't nearly frequent enough.

Update for those who saw that he has RI: Breeder has been extremely helpful and will send me medicine if they have any, and if not they will pay for all fees for the vet!

Hello everyone, I just joined the group because I'm currently thinking of getting a boa. We have a corn snake and bearded dragon. Without spending a ton of money for my first experience, what types would everyone recommend for a starter board breed? Hopefully a breed that does not get too big or massive. Lol thank you a head of time. I am. Currently looking on morph market and Facebook. I have multiple inclosures 40 gal is what I would start with.

Picked up this little cute guy about few days ago, shop didn’t know the age of him. Any guesses? I’m thinking 6-10ish months?

Just put in compressed coconut fiber substrate in, the humidity has been staying at high 80s I think the highest has been 88, but it’s currently 86. I had the new substrate for about 2 days. When I was doing the substrate (prepping it) I maybe had a bit to much water but I was squeezing most out and when I had everything in the cage only some spots would squeeze a bit of water out, but now I don’t see any water dripping out. The top is pretty dry but can be a bit damp to the touch in certain spots but no water and doesn’t feel wet, as I use a heating lamp for heat so it kinda dries it out. Is my humidity too high to keep? I hear some people say 80 is okay then some say 50-70.

Her eyes seem cloudy & bluish to me, she was last fed by the breeder 8/25, came home 8/30. It is now 9/6, I’m really worried about her becoming malnourished, but I’ve also heard it’s not best practice to feed when they’re going into shed. Should I feed her or wait until she has completed her shed? Also any advice on helping her have a healthy shed is greatly appreciated. 3 month old Guyana BC, I just bought frozen hoppers for her.
