      Jason's Exotic Reptiles quick question I have a 4x2x2 PVC enclosure what heating source would you recommend for this enclosure to house a boa ? And where would you recommend I get it ?

    Great topic had this happen last year when I had 12 boas. Was on the weekend and was out for 6 hours. 1am-6am I put them in pillow cases and my wife and I put them under our blankets and slept with them in the bed. 🤣

    Heat packs worked for me. Our power company couldn't tell us when it'd be back on so I just went with the idea it wouldn't be on for a couple days.

    We have some serious power outages here where I live and I know a breeder friend of mine who lost almost his whole collection after about a week with no power in our dead winter. The snakes that survived the cold all had some serious Respiratory problems and cost him a ton in vet bills. BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING, generators, UPS's hand warmers, gas stoves body heat if you only have one or two. But BEING PREPARED is the most important thing. He had 60+ animals. The first to perish were his babies. Then the older animals. The ones that made it were so ill. He lost more money in one week than running and buying/renting a generator would have.

    I've only seen a handful of your videos but they're packed full of really useful information. The other one I found really useful was cleaning/sanitization/disinfection video and talking about how it all works. A lot of stuff I already knew, but the sit times between different products and dilution rates all super helpful.

    When we've had no power here we've just had to keep the room temp up tbh, we have quite a warm rep room anyway so when it's all just sealed in the heat lasts a good while and if needed the house heat keeps a good ambient room temp. :)

    • @JasonsExoticReptiles
      @JasonsExoticReptiles  4 года назад +3

      Unfortintly if my electric goes out my heat does as well but I try to keep things close as long as possible until I know the generators need to kick on.

    We had an outage last week and I left the snakes alone for a couple of hours. Later I took some hand warmers and put them inside some socks and stuck them in the tubs. 10 minutes later the power came back on.

    Dear Jason, i am already watching your videos about boa breeding tips. But because my english is not very good im little bit confused 😅.
    I am new at boa and trying to breed them for new experience. And i have some question,
    1. At how age snake usually ready to breed ?? (male and female)
    2. What is Best temperature for boa ?
    3. How much time the male you usually took it to female cage, until get ovulated ?
    4. I watch your videos how to know female ready to breed when she is get follicels?? Can you explain to me what is that?
    My project is Super Salmon het Albino x normal het Albino.
    I hope i can get answers from you. Because it will help me so much for knowing more about breeding boa. 😊😊
    Thanks jason 👍👍

    i was thinking of buying a few of those big Styrofoam coolers and putting them inside that with heat packs. i've got 2 snakes. 4 chameleons. a beardy. a leopard gecko. a Baja blue rock lizard. and 2 tarantulas. so i figure 3 or 4 of those coolers would be good.

    I want to upgrade my baby rack to have more than enough space for future babies but I'd also like to add other snakes to my collection. I had a question and maybe possible video for you. Do you know any species that require similar heat/humidity requirements as boas that I could keep in the same rack, under the same heat range?

      Only problem with solar panels is most of them don't get installed with a battery backup unless you are in a very remote area. So you would still be out of power in an outage
