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.

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.

Thanks for sharing what works well for you!

Thanks for watching Greg. 25 more subscribers and I'll release it.

Thanks, Josh. Maine is gorgeous but a frozen ice cube for 6 months a year. My wife is responsible for all the gardens.

Thanks, Josh. Those are my awesome $5 walmart shades.

Cubans are a trip. They are hard to film, so I don't post them alot. But, hopefully, they keep getting calmer and I can get more videos of them. Right now, I'm prioritizing very positive handling sessions. Filming is a distraction to that.

Thanks. She is currently gravid to a new male. I'm excited to see if/what I get from her this go around. She is the bees knees.

Thanks for taking the time, Josh. Let me know if there are any topics you want covered.

@@EvanKayExotics yes Sir!!

Cheers. Thanks for watching.

Very cool, Tom. The Cubans are a trip. I've not shared too much about them just because it's hard to film them and work with them. Check out this video about Cubans from Ukraine. Apparently and thankfully, the owner and animals are still safe. ruclips.net/video/JBu8uZometU/видео.htmlsi=Zkfu1NKAAhKzTZW0

Thanks for watching all the way in Trinidad. There are some very unique BCC in Trinidad.

@agentlemansoperation3821 I do have a question, what is your thoughts on cohabitation with boas?

It's harder that keeping them in separate cages. Every breeder cohabitates animals for part of the year at least. They need a bigger cage with plenty of areas to be on their own so they don't have competition. Alot of it depends on the animals. I'd only cohab similar sized animals and I'd separate them to feed.

@agentlemansoperation3821 ahh understood. Appreciate the response bro.

Thanks for watching. I released the first 6.

Those are animal plastics cages. I recommend ordering them with double ventilation, which they will do for free. AP is a good company with good prices, but the lead times for cages is 6+ months. Thanks for watching, Miles.

Yes, they do s coil before a strike. But, usually a strike would involve more of a s coil, the snake would be intent/tracking on you, and it wouldn't be slow flicking its tongue. I also know the temperament of this snake and it's not a biter. Thanks for watching Laurence.

The dark secret of the egg industry is every bird gets slaughtered. Either as chicks for males or after they’ve been used up for egg production for hens. There is no retirement home for commercial hens. Makes me happy for my little flock of layers.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you kindly

@@EvanKayExotics you're welcome buddy

Hi. I recommend keeping a humidity hide box- just a plastic box with a hole in the lid filled with damp moss- in the cage full time. Argentines are not a high humidity species, and that is generally all you need. I do spray all my animals occasionally, but I also make sure the cage dries out with good ventilation. Paper substrate is what I use. This video has some more info about caging at the end: ruclips.net/video/19pKBCuATU0/видео.html

@@EvanKayExotics thank you for sure gonna make the change in my enclosure !

I've been getting some questions about it lately. I just filmed a video specifically about housing Argentines, and I'll upload it soon.

@@EvanKayExotics please do , they’re my favorite breed i’ve done my own fair share of research but your content with locality boas is amazing
