If only my mom would have been supportive in the slightest.. I would of had 20 years of experience by now. She wouldn't let me keep any reptiles.. Amphibians.. Arachnids..just nothing she considered disgusting or dangerous. I always cried growing up not being able to work with these beautiful animals. She knew I studied them and knew everything there was to know in terms of husbandry and natural habitats.. But refused the idea of any animal that wasn't a normal cat or dog. The other thing was if I were to be found keeping any reptile or something.. She said she would kill it no questions asked. I'm 26 now and live in my own house..and can now finally work with the animals and my dreams of becoming a herpetologist. My mom also now after all those years respects and supports me... And apologizes for the past. So I'm really happy that I can move forward. Your videos are really cool and give very good advice to both new keepers and experienced keeper alike. Great job man.

Thank you for the video. Lots of ball python videos but no so much boas. I’m doing a ton of research for my first snake and really want a boa and want to make sure it gets the best life possible.

Thank you! I'd say the biggest difference is just the overall snake itself it's going to be more active and overall more hardy and less subject to mettle condition changes that can cause problem.

They can be very frustrating at times specifically with eating

OK interesting story... I live in​ Cambodia and work as an English teacher. We found a baby burmese python in the school I work. ( behind the school is marshy. ) The locals wanted to eat it and I was like I love snakes I had a ball python and a red tailed boa back in the states. I took it home. He/ she / it is eating OK and is going into shed. My concern is the heating. Do they need a basking area? And I don't want to make the hot side too hot. It is like 90° and it feels like 99° AND it is night time. The humidity is naturally at 70%. Because this is there native land I would eventually want to do a zoo outdoor enclosure for it. So what are your thoughts on heating this juvenile burmese python? By the way Great videos. I am enjoying them. From Cambodia.

Hey Jason you seem like the best Boa guy to ask, So I have had a BCI for about 12 days from an online source, hes about 3 months old and has refused a few meals spread across the time.

@JasonsExoticReptiles

4 жыл бұрын

First thing I would say is that get your temperature is never ething where they need to be like I said in the video. Secondly if you only had it for 12 days you should have only fed at once. Considering they eat every 7 to 14 days assuming that it's a baby snake, that would have only allowed for one feeding. The snake just got shipped in so I would give it a chance to chill out for a week or two with no handling and no interactions. Once that time has passed then try to feed what you're trying to feed.

any recommendations on enclosure size?

strangely enough the easiest big feeder item available to me is quail (in various sizes) would that work for boas?

It is so weird how different things are. My boa lives on her cold side. She only uses her heat mat which is set to 86 to digest and shead. If the temperature in England goes anywhere above 82 she is climbing her glass sitting in her water trashing her enclosure.... hates the heat.

Jason's Exotic Reptiles thank you love the channel you got a new subscriber 💪🏻

I use aspen bedding, I have a 5yo 6ft female boa in an 8ft enclosure. I changed her bedding the other day and it's as flat as a pancake already? She has never been bred, and I dont really plan to anytime soon. She has been on the move for about a month and a half now, could it be hormonal?

Assuming all the temps and everything are correct it could be for sure. Usually they dont seek out breeding so I'd be more concerned if there was something off in the caging unless you have a male in the same room. But even then it's odd to ha e a female start cruising the cage

@@JasonsExoticReptiles there is a 3yo male not even 5 ft from her. I have temps set at hot spot 88 and the cool side goes down to 78 that I check with a temp gun. Humidity is normally between 70-75%. And she has been kept like this for 2 years now in this enclosure. About 3 weeks ago my night drop went out so there was no cool off at night for about 4 days while I got another one but she has been not wanting to eat for about 3 months and been pacing for like 6 weeks. I let her out for about an hour 3 times a week, unless she just ate, so she has plenty of time to stretch and explore. Also I was able to get her to eat a smaller then normal meal about a week ago and she had a perfect shed about 2 weeks ago.

i have a female normal boa constrictor and she has like a 6 and a half foot enclosure can she live in it her whole life?

Should be great

a little off topic with species but related to feeding. my ball is going on 6 months not eating. shes is not emaciated or concave at all. in her first year she ate all the way up to small rats every week then stopped eating in November. she has shed twice since then, both full healthy sheds. honestly i was beginning to worry about obesity and then she stopped eating. when should i worry? she does not look unhealthy her temps are good its just every time i try to feed her a rat shes more trepid of it than the rat is of her. i end up having to euthanize it and stick it in the freezer. i havent switched her to frozen thawed and cant really until i know shes eating again. shes my first snake ive had her a little over a year now. she couldnt have been more than 6 months when i picked her up.

This is exactly why I don't do ball pythons anymore or recommend them as a beginner snake. They can be a pain in the ass and frustrating! Have you tried African soft furs? Its not uncommon for ball pythons to go off feed if there is even the slighted thing off and something just because haha.

what about cage size? my snake always go for a walk in a room. Does it healthy when your snakes sit in such a small boxes?

Walk in rooms are great if you can control the temps and humidity, but those pretty hard to do for most climates.

@JasonsExoticReptiles

There really is no such thing as a premature boa as they will typically just be a little bit smaller but if they are born too early they would usually die. Occasionally you'll get one that's born a little bit early but as long as they eat they will Thrive just like anything else.

Dude I was going to get either a boa or a carpet python but my mom said nothing that gets over six feet. But the bigger snakes seem the most hardiest and forgiving. Now I'm on the fence between a woma python or a hog island boa

Haha, thanks man! Most male boa constrictors are going to get a boat that size oh, but I assume you want something a little bit heavy bodied rather than something like a corn snake or other colubrids. Hog Island boas are awesome. Woma python the really cool as well but two totally different snakes as you know. Tough decision!

My boa hates humidity over 50 she holds her head in the air and doesn’t seem comfortable when it’s over 50 is 50 ok?

@JasonsExoticReptiles

I'd say there is likely something else off is she doesnt do well with the humidity being above 50. Maybe she actually likes it and is enjoying the higher humidity rather than disliking it.
