  1. Is it strange that even after I own a boa I still enjoy watching care guide videos ?

  2. "A bald guy yelling at a camera" makes it a lot easier to care for your reptiles!!!

  3. Fresh killed is fine nothing wrong with that plus more nutrients. Can't even tell when the frozen ones were killed 🫤

  4. Aaaaw, I found a Doug in there.
    He's my favorite snake :3

    I'll probably never get a snake, but if I could, I'd want a Boa Imperator ^^

  5. Would getting a baby BI as a first time snake be unrealistic? Of course, assuming all proper care is met and prepared for the size they get.

  6. Thank you Adam. Excellent video. I enjoyed this a lot. Congratulations, great job!

  7. i got a nicaraguan boa like a week this video was published, perfect timing! and i’m still nervous around him, he just looks a lot meaner than my bps and my corn. he’s 4 years old but only 3.5feet long. so far he’s been pretty chill, he did bite me but it’s bc i handled a mouse and didn’t wash my hands properly 🤦‍♀️ anyways, the one thing i did not expect for some reason was how much they move. my guy is on the move non stop when i handle him. its pretty intimidating 😅

  8. Yes it's about time someone made a up dated video about boa care thank you for making this video 😊. And how can I get with you about purchasing a boa from you and have it shipped to the us.

  9. Please 🙏 stop recommending out dated heat methods. Deep heat projectors and heat bulbs are the only heat sources that effectively warm up reptile’s internal temps. Other methods, such as heat pads or panels and CHE’s dont pierce through reptile skin and scales to warm up the internal temps effectively.

  10. I’ve had my juvenile banana ball python for 8 months now, (I’m sure he/she is at least 10-12 months old) anyways, I find it interesting to hear multiple sources talk about their picky eating habits and hunger strikes. I’ve yet to have my ball python turn down a single meal. Guess I’m just lucky! A side note though I’d really love to get a Hog Island Boa! I live in an apartment so the smaller boa is appealing. I just hope my gf would agree to a second snake…

  11. you can guarantee every time WWR gets a new reptile he's going to only say negative things about the person caring for them before him.

  12. If you don’t mind me asking where did you get your hog island boa? I have wanted one for at least two years but have had zero luck finding one

  13. BC covers so many more boas than just true red Tails. True red Tails are only under the subspecies boa constrictor constrictor(Bcc). But there are also Bco Bca Bcl Bcn, none of which are considered true red Tails..

    Glad to see you finally put on your big boy pants and got a real boa (anything in the Boa genus)

  14. About a year ago I bought my boa imperator Juno, I used to watch your channel a lot for tips and tricks, now I mainly just watch you because you make good content. I think boa's make better pets than ball pythons. Yes boa's get big, but honestly that (+ the cost that could potentially come with size) is the only negative I can think of. They're super docile, have a good but not too agressive feeding response. My girl is 3 years now and she's about 150-160 cm/+- 5 ft. She's on jumbo rats now and does just fine on one of those every 2/2.5 weeks. She's had mites (came with her from the store that I bought her in and she responded very well to the treatment. She's absolutely gorgeous and I want to thank you for showing me that boa's can make great beginner pets. I love her to bits.

  15. It's always crazy to me to see other BI's because mine is both picky and relatively small.

  16. my buddy has a redtail boa constrictor, he feeds her a live rabbit per month and she is also one of the nicest snakes, ever. my buddy and his boa got me into snakes and im learning everything i can about boas before i get one.

  17. I've been considering getting a BCI as my third reptile along with a bearded dragon and crested gecko and want to know if a 5' long 4' tall 2' front to back is large enough for an adult male.

  18. So serious question here, iv got a new pvc on the way… I also got an 80w radiant heat panel. Is it necessary to use a heat mat too or is it okay to just use a heat panel inside the enclosure?

  19. I know a lot of ppl dislike heating using CHE. But I do. I’m constantly misting substrate because I know the CHE dries everything out. My question is. Hot side is always at 87-93. Cold side is 76-79. My issue is I use a mesh top and the hide I use collects heat. Using a digital thermometer reader. The only HOT spot is on top of the hide. The reading gets to 108 on top of his hide but 88 inside of his hide. Should I be worried about this high temp on top of the hide only ?

  20. I'm watching this to prepare to get a Black Devil Boa, beautiful snake. Yours is beautiful too

  21. I have a Nicaraguan dwarf boa and she’s in a 4x2x2 planted bio active and she’s super active and she interacts with everything so she’s super fun to watch but I’m replanting the plants all the time😂😅

  22. I have two common boas and one Argentine. Love my boas so much and I really enjoy watching videos to help me and others learn more about these awesome animals. Thank you.

  23. I’m a newer snake owner, I’ve only had ball python and corns. Started reptile keeping about 3-4 years ago. I really want to grab a juvenile Boa. Are they good for people like me who are newer to the hobby?

  24. I just got a boa and it looks like it has pimples on his neck and he is very dodgy

  25. i just paid for a new hog island BC I’m so excited I’m picking him up in three days

  26. I love wickens wicked reptiles no doubt… but this video was painfully similar to a 90s boa pamphlet 😅

  27. My red tail boa is so calm I can kiss him on the head is that a good thing or a bad thing

  28. Please do a solomon island ground boa care video. Got a reptile show coming up so I'm planning on keeping my eyes open for one

  29. when i build a place for the snake in my room, im thinking about to build in a part of my room heater, to heat the terra without electricity (cheaper). is that a good way to heat the terra if i can maintain a good humidity? with it?

  30. Just took home a big male 6’ an heavy. Its very cold in my house rite now his hot spot is 90 an ambient goes to 74. Hes in a animal plastic 4x2x18. Is this ok considering its 20 degrees outside.
