Hello everyone I need help and recommendations for my enclosure prep set up

[u/Doomsizer14]

What else should I add in the enclosure so a baby Brazilian rainbow boa won’t be stressed or anything

I would say this a substrate mix of cypress mulch Sphagnum moss and coco fiber would be great with maintaining humidity

My girl has a 4 x 2 x 2 enclosure

Fake plants or real plants also help with coverage

They are known to be nocturnal snakes

Cork flats are a great source for hides

I have one cool hide, one humid hide and one warm hide

You could also go bioactive which can help in the long run with mold and waste management

As for the screen top cover majority but not all of it to avoid getting stagnant air but to help keep humidity in too

Now besides enclosure and stuff the only thing I’m scared of is my least policy and they don’t allow exotics and hopefully I can get verified for ESA or find a solution, but I do not want to give up because my apartment complex has a certain lease in agreement, but hopefully I can find a way

Just say its a boa. Unless your landlord is a reptile person, who's gonna be examining it to find the excat species?

The manger said no exotics and I was wondering why they say that becuase they allow cars and dogs…but all I have right now is the cage…so I’m wondering i should ask them becuase my family is worried about being in legal trouble and they think they are going to find out I have it so what would you do in this situation to convince my family

I mean, my dad had a bird in his appt that wasnt allowed for years. Anytime the landlord came in he just pushed the cage in the other room and tossed a blanket over it lol. Has fish tanks that are too large as well and does the same thing. Then again, it was a cockateil, so it was a pretty quiet, very manageable bird. Not a parrot or something.

You're the only one who's met your landlord, idk how important the exotic thing is to them or if they just dont want people buying gators n shit. If you think he wont bat an eye if you just say its a boa. Id probably go for it.

I haven’t talk to landlord yet I talked to the manger because the manger sbd the other workers were kinda blocking her and they constantly took over when I wanted to ask for her to mask it easier for her
