>:(Doing some research and wondering if you could help me out? Please excuse my ignorance- I keep mainly asian and african colubrids, a Coastal Carpet python and a couple of BRBs...
Approximately how large are Nicaraguans & Central American boas as adults? I'm considering a smaller type of boa (between 5-7.5ft max).
What's their temperament like? I can deal with a nippy youngster- do they calm down with age?
What's size cage would you recommend? I'd go with a Boaphile for an adult cag but which model?
Humidity requirements?
Brumation or cooling for breeding requirements?
Things to look for in a good specimen of either locality and are they the same? My untrained eyes don't see a difference and I know Nicaraugua is in Central America.
Genral experiences with these boas would be appreciated and would you recommend them for a 1st boa?
Thanks!
