About the Jungle Columbian Boa
The jungle Columbian boa is a pattern morph of the Colombian red tail boa, one of the most popular large boas in the hobby. The jungle pattern gives the snake broken, irregular markings and bold contrast, so no two animals look exactly alike. Adults typically reach 6 to 8 feet and can live 20 years or more, so please plan for a large, long lived snake before you buy.
Temperament
Red tail boas are generally calm and steady, and many become comfortable with handling when they are handled regularly from a young age. An adult should always be handled with confidence and good support.
Housing
A juvenile can start in a smaller enclosure, but an adult needs about 6 x 2 x 2 feet or larger. Provide a secure lid, a hide on the warm side and one on the cool side, a sturdy branch, and a water bowl big enough to soak in.
Temperature and Humidity
Keep a basking area around 88 to 92°F with a cooler end in the upper 70s, and moderate humidity. Use a thermostat on all heating equipment.
Diet
Feed appropriately sized rodents, about weekly for young snakes and less often for adults.
