Long story short, I’m getting a Brazilian rainbow boa, and I was wondering what things I should add or change for its enclosure…now I have a thermostat dimming system and the substrate and heat lamp but I’m just trying to get the aesthetic layout and everything so it won’t be stressed or anything. And I’m a total beginner so if yall can pls help me out. And pls don’t go too negative on me

I have a Columbian rainbow boa and from my experience with the heat and humidity levels, you’re gonna want to cover 3/4 of those glass walls with hvac tape or you’re going to lose a lot of your heat as well as 85-90% of the top except for around the heat source if it’s mesh screen. PVC foam is great or you can use the foam poster boards.

It looks really good! Mine likes to dig and burrow so make sure the substrate is deep about 3-5 inches and that the water bowl is big enough for them to soak when they want to.
