The following information is from the Boa Forum on www.kingsnake.com. I use Kingsnake as one source of many for information. When reading the forum and the threads that I saved below, I advise keeping in mind that it is a public forum and as such you will see many different views and opinions (some good, some bad). The reason I saved these threads over the past few years is to keep me from having to sift through search results. The threads below are only threads that I personally felt I needed to keep because of relevant information or for my personal interests. Hopefully they might help you answer a question or two.
Click the thread title below to reveal the rest of the thread. I have tried to separate the threads that I have saved into 7 categories: Breeding Boas, Neonate Care, General Husbandry, Genetics, Sharp Info, Business Info, and "Other" Info.
