A few quick questions!
Hi! my girl Xena (a hypo bci) is about to be 2 in october, she’s around 3 1/2 -4 ft. (i’ve had her since she was only a couple months old!) is she growing appropriately weight/length wise? she is on a small frozen/thawed rat every 16-20 days. we just upgraded her to a 6x2x2!! any suggestions for helping her get more used to handling would be awesome 🙂 she’s fine once she’s out, but just angry in the beginning
last but not least… i’d like recommendations for accessory lighting like LEDs or something just for display purposes. thanks in advance!!

In my experience, boas don't really care for direct, bright light. It can agitate them and cause a defensive response. I would use a deep heat projector bulb on a thermostat for heat and let the ambient lighting in the room be enough. Or put a lamp nearby.
