![]() ![]() The only "difference" I can see for your new Colombian though is that they are larger & heavier-bodied, so they'll be eating larger prey. To you & each situation is a little different.either way you are mimicking nature that heats from sun overhead & which heats up the ground/rocks they lay on. She didĪppear to enjoy the UTH (it ran under her custom-built 'warm' hide which she used a lot) & she never lacked for sufficient heat for good digestion. Seemed more logical to me, & when I had a large BCI for many years, I installed UTH under a little over half her cage (keeping it regulated for proper warmth)Īnd also used overhead heat to keep the ambient cage temps where she needed them, as in so large an enclosure, the UTH could not do it all. Much depends on how cold your house or room is, as to whether you'd need to use both. Im looking for ideas of enrichment items besides the typical wood. ![]() While it's not heating from the bottom, the RHP will still generate enough heat to get the surface temps where you need them to be (i.e. I have a big female red tail boa and I am getting a newer/bigger enclosure ready for her. You just have to give yourself enough time to find the proper probe placement and dial in the temps using your thermostat. The RHP has been doing a great job in my T10 since I set it up a couple months ago. The enclosure should have at least two hides to allow the snake to choose more than one location. Furnish the cage with branches for climbing. Aspen, bark or R-Zilla terrarium liner can be used for a substrate. I know a couple people like Daski use both and RHP and a UTH which gives them an extra piece of mine if something were to happen to one of the heating units. These boas need a very large type tank or enclosure for a single snake at adulthood due to their large size. While I didn't order the belly heat tape, is that something that the boa might benefit with? Taking the advise here, I do not use belly heat for the ball python and Mexican black kingsnake, and they're doing great! But, I seem to read people using belly heat more so on boas.Are you having the T10 delivered with an RHP? That's what most users and myself use. Planning on eventually housing a Colombian Boa in there.
