I have a number of them in my private collection. If you search my youtube channel, you'll see them. I'm pairing two maxx pink BCO's this season. I might have babies available fall 2025.

Good to hear from you, Honey.

I use it mostly for securing thermostat probes, but it's handy for lots of things.

That's a good idea. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Joal. I wish every teacher a fantastic retirement. The kids are still fun. I think I'm just getting old and it's hard on my body. The hygiene comments are on point when people try to get super wet cages. I like to contain my humidity more in humid hide boxes and microenvironments. This was a good comment. Thanks for watching.

More to come, Blessed!

Good to hear from you, Grant. Yes, morphs can feel like keeping up with the neighbors.

Thanks for watching, Adamer.

I'm glad you like it.

Thanks for watching, Joal. Yes, urine/ammonia causes problems. The isopods do help with hygiene and I can go longer without changing the substrate that without them. I don't think they eat urine. I think most of the urine control comes from the healthy decomposition that happens between nirtogen (urine) and the carbon (substrate). But, this is not bioactive and I do have to clean/change substrate. I think the most important things for controlling ammonia/urine is ventilation and not overwetting/aerating your substrates.

Thanks for watching, Salmon.

Thanks for watching, Geeky. I really should keep more Bolivians. They are pretty ideal locality pet boas.

Hmmm...have you tried adding a humid hide box? It's not so much a big deal if they shed in one piece as it is that they shed completely and easily. Thanks for watching Ryan. Oshimura? You must be Japanese. I am half. cool.

I generally recommend Peruvian Long tails as the easiest/small/gentlest boas I've ever kept. These Bolivians would be good if you wanted something medium sized and a little more demanding. I also like Dumeril's and some of the imperator boas for beginners. I generally don't recommend full size boas as first boas. The True Red Tails- Surinames, Guyanas, etc- are truly the biggest and most nervous boas and they are the most fragile. An Argentine is a better choice as a full size pet boa: generally calmer and more hardy.

Hi, they're 72x30.

Good questions. I keep humid hide boxes in with all my snakes all the time. It is a buffer against too low of humidity and means they always have high humidity when they need it. The only exception is when I believe the female is close to giving birth. I will remove the box. The concern is that she'll give birth in the box and accidentally crush the babies. I put lots of crumled paper and boxes in the cage instead. I put them on the warm side. The top is closest to the heater, so the humid hide box doubles as both a warm/wet retreat and also a hot basking platform. I keep humid hide boxes on the cool side in some of my snakes cages.

Cheers, Gambler. Thanks for subscribing. More to come!

You make me blush. I am a married man.

Thanks, my friend. I tend not to just do feeding videos because it's not what I want the channel to focus on. But, is there something specific you'd like to see that I can make educational? If you pay attention to the backdrop, the two snakes in this video are eating rabbits while I am talking.

Good question, Roel. You need to make sure you use a porcelain socket and control your bulb on a thermostat. I've used up to 100 watt bulbs like this no problems. When you use a bulb inside a cage, you can use about half the wattage as a bulb on top of the cage because the heat is all inside the cage. I suppose an extremely high wattage bulb might get too hot. I've never noticed it on pvc, but over time, heat can make acrylic brittle/yellow. You can use strips of aluminium foil tape as a heat reflector/shield if you are worried about that.

Not dumb. It's wise to think about those safety things. You need to make sure you use a porcelain socket and control your bulb on a thermostat. I've used up to 100 watt bulbs like this no problems. When you use a bulb inside a cage, you can use about half the wattage as a bulb on top of the cage because the heat is all inside the cage. I suppose an extremely high wattage bulb might get too hot. I've never noticed it on pvc, but over time, heat can make acrylic brittle/yellow. You can use strips of aluminium foil tape as a heat reflector/shield if you are worried about that. Thanks for watching, Theo.

Thanks, John. What you said is exactly what I am trying to do. I don't like giving "recipes". I like giving concepts.

LOL...sorry for the curveball...Thanks for watching, Honey.

The yellow ones are old neodesha slant front cages. They're probably 25+ years old and the company isn't around anymore. They're some of my favorites. The grey ones are vision cages. Thanks for watching, Abel.

@@EvanKayExotics awesome thnks for letting me know i also think they are nice for being an older model cage.

They are the best in terms of viewing your animals because of the slant front. The also have a lot of floor surface area. They are getting harder and harder to find, but I scoop them whenever I can. If you find them, just make sure they aren't brittle. The plastic they used tended to get brittle in the sun or heat. They also have a better balance of ventliation than modern cages. PVC cages are underventilated, and I order mine with double ventilation.

Thanks, Joe. Whimsical is a ncie compliment.

She's a great critter. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, Josh.

Me too. Thanks James.

That would e ideal.

Thanks for watching, Jake. Yes, BI boas can have the same size potential as a BCC. The BI from Colombia in particular are large. 12 foot is exceptionally large for either BI or BCC.

@@EvanKayExotics I want a bcc female . As I do have the biggest out of the bi the Colombian boa . There not much of a size difference between the two . I just want the most easier BCC I can find

@@EvanKayExotics I seen some Columbian boas really huge and I seen huge true red tails and not much of a difference side by side.

Yes. The size potential of full size BI and BC is similar.

Hey Grant, Thanks for watching. I've not used tree moss before. There are a lot of different mosses available. Some of them are dyed bright green. You can try washing it. Otherwise, look for some of this sphagnum moss. It's really the best I've found.

@@EvanKayExotics I appreciate the input. Found what you were talking about on Amazon. I’ll try it!

Sweet. Great species. I've got a few Dum's. I should do a video on them. Their care is similar to Argentines. I want to keep womas.

Thanks for watching, Miles. They are amazing animals. So long as you are careful to set them up right, there isn't a need to stress.

Me too! Thanks for watching.

They will fetch your fingers on occasion.

It's a grind and it's not glamorous.

Thanks for watching, Ralph!

Thanks, Blindkeeper. I've got some exciting things coming.

Welcome back, Justin!

I'll release the document when I get 11 more subscribers! Bob and Ancient Reproduction is top notch. He has guided alot of my keeping. You should check out his youtube page. He's got the best info out there. I am pairing some Maxx Pink Argentines this year that are direct from Bob.

@@EvanKayExotics i had no idea he had a page, thank you 🙏🏼 subscribe people! 🍻

Thanks, Wilnoth. I am interested to see myself.

Much appreciated. Thanks, Blessed.

Wow, cool. I am an educator by trade, so this is a nice compliment. I love plants. Plants and reptiles have very complementary skill sets. I used to raise cymbidium orchids at a semi large scale when I was a younger person in California. Thanks for taking on the boa rescue. The most satisfy relationships I've had with animals were hard earned, and I'm sure the snake will pay off for you in the long run. They really do understand and appreciate good care and the people that give it to them.

Thanks so much for watching.

​@@EvanKayExoticshey man can we get a video on preparing for the winter or power outages? Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

That's an excellent idea, lastblood!

That's a good idea. I'm happy to make a video about how I'm not very good at sexing boas LOL. There are a lot of things I don't know how to do well in this hobby.

@agentlemansoperation3821 hahahaha man I feel you. I have 4 I know the sex of 3 for sure but I have one that just seems to baffle me now matter how much I compare. Still I value your opinion

Thanks, Josh. I'm just a hobby keeper in my own home. I work everyday towards trying to create the collection of my childhood dreams.

Thanks for watching, Unicorn. I think that they are good food, but not better or worse than mice or rats...My only really big preference is to feed something that is fully furred and not nursing. Some boas seem not to do well on furless/nursing rodents.
