Q5: Can I house more than one boa in the same cage?

FAQ
The answer here is a cautious "yes." We have successfully housed more than one boa together and have even had productive breeding occur. Rosy Boas are not cannibalistic by nature. They are thought to be "loners" in nature for the most part, although some think they may congregate in small numbers to brumate. We have found on occasion that a boa becomes stressed when too crowded, begins to feed poorly or regurgitate, then does much better when housed alone.

Q2: How do I feed my rosy boa?

FAQ
Feeding Rosy Boas can present problems for those less experienced with the species. The reason is that their digestive system is a bit more delicate than other snakes and their jaw anatomy does not allow them to swallow large prey. Therefore, it is important to feed these snakes smaller rodents than for other species. A rule of thumb is to feed the snake meals that will not leave a large bulge in their stomach area.

Q4: My rosy boa is regurgitating. What do I do?

FAQ
A common problem with Rosy Boas is regurgitation even if the boa is otherwise healthy. Common causes are overheating, underheating, improper temperature gradients, high relative humidity, water intake prior to or just after feeding, stress related to handling after feeding, and housing too many boas in one cage. These boas also regurgitate as a symptom of illness including infection by bacteria, viruses, and parasites or metabolic disturbances, tumors, and neurological disorders.

Can I keep it in a cage?

The Raven's Aviary - Close Encounters of the Corvid Kind
The metal bars of a cage can seriously damage a bird's feathers as it grows older, and needs to stretch out its wings. If the wingfeathers keep breaking off against the bars, the bird may not learn to fly properly, or not have the plumage to fly effectively. Besides, wild birds don't belong behind bars. If you have to have a cage, make it a large one - several feet wide and more than 3 feet tall, so the bird has room to move and exercise as it grows.

Q3: My rosy boa won't eat. What do I do?

FAQ
Boas can go "off feed" for several reasons. The first issue to consider is a health problem. Record keeping (a significant change from prior feeding patterns) and taking note of the appearance of the snake and the fecal material can help you decide if this is the case.

How large will my boa get?

Boa Constrictor Store - Frequently Asked Questions
Most boas will grow to between 6 and 8 feet with the males usually being the smaller of the two sexes. Snakes grow rapidly for the first 3 to 4 years of their life. After that, their growth rate drops dramatically--gaining only about 1 inch or less per year.
Related Questions

How warm should I keep my boa?

Boa Constrictor Store - Frequently Asked Questions
Normal room temperature (68 -70 degrees Fahrenheit) IS NOT warm enough for boas. Ideally, their environment should be between 78 and 85 degrees. Less than 78 degrees and the snake is likely to get sluggish, become uninterested in eating, and will be more susceptible to infection or illness. Anything over 90 degrees, on the other hand, should be avoided as high temperatures, especially near 100 degrees, is fatal.

Q9: Can I keep more than one Kingsnake in the same cage?

FAQ
mentioned elsewhere, Kingsnakes in the wild will feed on other snakes including other Kingsnakes. Therefore, it is a risk to house two together. If this must be done, then much care should be taken to separate them during feeding time. They should be kept separate for a while after feeding since the feeding response is accompanied by hormonal responses that may keep them in the hunting mode. One should make every attempt to house Kingsnakes separately except when attempting to breed them.

Ferret FAQ - All Parts
One option is to make the cage yourself. It may be cheaper than a store-bought cage, and you can get exactly the size and configuration you want. Photos and descriptions of various types of homemade cages, as well as instructions for building one of them, are available. Of course, pet stores and catalogs have lots of cages, too. Multiple-level "cat condos" are probably the most popular store-bought cages.

What Kind Of Cage Should I Get?

Frequently Asked Questions
Cages should be made of wire mesh for ventilation. Aquariums are not recommended because they do not provide enough ventilation and will make your ferret feel isolated. Wood cages are not recommended because the wood can soak up urine and other liquids, so cleaning them is nearly impossible. If you are planning to keep your ferret caged most of the time, the cage should be minimum 2x3x2. A second or third ferret could also share that size cage.

Can I put more than one chin in a cage?

Chinchilla Frequent Questions
This is a difficult answer to make. It all depends on the chin. Some are very social while others tend to be loners. If your chin has been alone a long time and you decide to add a chin you will have to watch and make sure it is going to be okay. Some chins may resent this after having been the only chin in the cage. It could become a territorial issue. (back to top)
