The diet of boa snakes is chiefly rodents. Place the water bowl at either end, but not just above the source of heat. Water bowl – your boa snake requires a bowl for water, sufficiently big for it to immerse itself in. Irrespective of the material you use, keep it cleansed and free of parasites/chemicals/pesticides. Make your hideout from either a carved out a bark or /log, simulating a cave. The temperature of the hideout is an essential factor, if your snake is not capable choosing the right temperature it will lead to illness. On either side, hideouts are necessary since the snake opts for a place with a suitable temperature. Two hides – provide hideouts on either side of the cage (hot and cool sides). You would do well to use the front portion as an entrance for the snake, and consider using the top of the box a table for handling the snake. About the height, remember boa constrictor snakes do climb and you must make provision for this, as you can see them climbing across the branches of the tree placed above the cage. By all means have a cage that is longer than the snake. A snake of length 12 feet is cozy in a cage of size 8 x 4 etc. If your snake is 10’ long, then the ideal size of the cage is 5w x 5d, if not 4d x 6 w, fetch it. A snake of length 12 feet requires a cage of about 15 feet. Prior to bringing home the snake, you have to take crucial decisions about how you will house the snake when it grows to 12 feet.
