Hey,been watching for at least 5yrs,just flashed back,,no ur absolutely fine with those strips in ur snake house,had mites on my bi,tried everything to no avail,on and off for like a year,for a 6ft x2ftx2ft,,1/5 of that strip,one time,no mites ever seen again
Thank you! I appreciate this info, and pretty well the same idea I follow. I also use the pest strips..s no hard times from me on that. Lol. I cut them into roughly 1inch strips and place them into the small condiment cups with some holes punched in the lids, and place 1 cup per cage/tub . I've dn that for roughly 5 years. No mites and no problems. Mites suck.. so I'm all about prevention. Thanks again for the videos. Keep em coming
Watching these videos are making me wonder about my own boa's actual age. I got her when she was barely pushing two foot In Christmas and she's grown tremendously since then. I was told her age was around 4 months old but she's very close to hitting 5 ft now. I've never force fed her and regular vet visits say shes in perfect health and not overweight. Do some boa's just grow more than others or could it possibly be she is older than I was told?
They are essentially in a hide all on their own. The enrichment would be when they come out, but I dont 100% disagree. I'm going to be covering the ethics of breeding at some point and thus will be covered for sure.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles I really want to get into tub racks but there is just so much conflicting information online. Like, you do your thing, but someone will always have something to say or will question how you do things. I just want happy snakes. I might want to get into breeding at some point, but right now I just want a space efficient way to house my collection. I agree with the "whole tub as a hide" statement. I've heard most snakes are healthier and happier in a tub aswell. I have been looking at ARS Caging for racks, but I might have to take a look at Freedom's.
Something about 4 foot by 2 foot would be good. Most boas are fine in that size period a few will get 8 foot plus and you will have to bump them to something 6ft.
John Rhodes the room is about 1000sqft. I've found they dramatically looks effectiveness after about 1-2 weeks even though they say 4 months. Every month or so I change one in one of the racks so they get rotated. Some are 4-6 months old and some are brand new.
Ballin Boas/Geckos you can get them almost anywhere now. Walmart, CVS , Home Depot etc. They work great if you have a separate room for reptiles. You wouldnt want to keep them around all the time if you keep your snakes in the bedroom or living room. Someplace where you or other could be exposed for long periods of time. They are fine for treatment in short durations in these areas.
It's basically just a pesticide strip in a plastic protector. You open up the package and place it in the rack or near the cage. I'd do a video, but there is not much to it. Other people open them up and cut it up, but I have never done it that way. Literally open the package and place it in the room with your snakes.
No a 10 is too small. But thicker constrictor is clearly one of those people who thinks all creatures need huge cages, whether they're snakes or elephants. They cannot be reasoned with. A 4x2x2, or maybe 4x2x3 if you want a taller cage, is fine for any boa up to 8 feet or so. I like to put a shelf, plywood on legs, most of the cage size, in the cage to add climbing ability and effectively add floor space.
Hey do u have any Nicaraguan het T+ males for sale or any hypo motley nicurarguan het T+ males also a male CA het T+ im looking for to anywear from a baby to an adult
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Cheers, but my bcc developed that exact same darkness to her snout after a bad shed (1st shed with me maybe i didnt notice the dark snout or so) but i have been climbing the walls over what causes it
@@crashingdown6814 in this animal ist just a dark head. Yours could be stuck shed if it's still on there. Otherwise I'd assume you just a didnt notice it. They will check colors slightly with temps and lighting.
A lot of these guys that have this many boas just stuff them in little drawers. I would rather have 20 boas all in 6 to 8 foot beautiful enclosures with room to climb and exercise and stretch outthen have a ton of them stuffed in little azz enclosures. This is why I don't go to people like this for advice I go to herpetologists and zoologists. this guy knows his shit for sure but I will never support people that stuff there snakes in shit like this
And don't get me wrong I'm far from perfect. I made the mistake of putting boas in glass tanks. which I am now getting rid of all of them and putting them in six to eight foot PVC enclosures and that's a mistake that I'll never make again but if you gave me the choice of putting a 2-3 foot snake in a 4-foot glass cage with proper husbandry versus a little sock drawer I would choose them everyday
Also when do u think we can link up an do a quick vid id luv to see your collection an feature it on my channel also u can come ova my spot an do the same i dnt have nearly as many as u do but i have a pretty cool collection which features 15 boas 1 ball 1 burm 5 leapord geckos 2 cuban knight anoles 4 turtles a golden gecko a full grown breaded Dragon named STORM an 1 small reg green anole plus 2 bunnys an fish so lets link up do do a few cool vids
Ballin Boas/Geckos I'm working on it. Been crazy busy and usually just make these things when I have an extra five or ten minutes. As you can see, there is not much editing time involved in this. I basically hit record on the camera and whatever comes out on the first time around is what gets posted lol
Jason's Exotic Reptiles ya im the same way i dnt do any editing either lol id luv to come check out your collection 1 day also im looking for a hypo nicurarguan or a het T+ nicurarguan male i need 1 to pair with my motley Nic het T+ female im also looking for a male het T+ CA boa
Jason's Exotic Reptiles. I know that lol. I wanted you to show off your larger boas and what you have for sale. Just giving you ideas plus i would like to see.
Lance Edwards haha yes. Get a second person to hold the camera as I walk through. I have quite a bit of stuff in it would take me forever to do this with one hand. I've been meaning to do a walk-through
Glad I found this video. I love seeing Boas! Boas! Boas!,,, I can't stand seeing everyones ball pythons! Totally over rated, who wants a snake that balls up on you. Sorry if I offended anyone, but you should have bought a corn snake. Lol Boas only
As Always Thank you for the size video helps a lot Lil man gets a new tube soon ty
hey Jason, definitely an informative video for me. it's great to know I have a rack that can house an adult. thanks for the vid
No problem man!

The stuff is amazing and I’ve never seen bad effect from them to the snake unless the strip got in the water and the snake drank the water.
Man, I couldn't make a decision on what snake I really wanted and then you opened up that tub with the Surinams in there...my god they are beautiful.
Haha thank you!
This helped me so much! Thanks

Very helpful. Great looking snakes also! I know it's not a big money item but I would see a African House Snake video when get more babies.
Jeff Allan I have more eggs now. I'll make one soon
Very informative thank you
Great boa collection!
Another great vid Jason

Different boas grow at different rates
Do they not enjoy hides or any type of enrichment? It looks really empty in those tubs.

What size would you recommend haveing a 7ft boa in?
Something about 4 foot by 2 foot would be good. Most boas are fine in that size period a few will get 8 foot plus and you will have to bump them to something 6ft.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles thank you I really appreciate the reply!
Happy to help! Sorry it took so long. Message me anytime here on Instagram or Facebook.
6x2x2
How big is that room? Shouldnt need more than 1 pest strip for a decent size room. I use them also but too much can harm the snakes
John Rhodes the room is about 1000sqft. I've found they dramatically looks effectiveness after about 1-2 weeks even though they say 4 months. Every month or so I change one in one of the racks so they get rotated. Some are 4-6 months old and some are brand new.
Jason's Exotic Reptiles ok that sounds like a good way to do it. My room is alot smaller so ill never need to use more than 1
What size heating pad would u use on your biggest containers
Great... More videos please
I like the idea of those mite strips what are they an wear do u get them home depot?
Ballin Boas/Geckos I've seen them at kroger also. They are "no pest strips" .
Kevin Nix thanks for the tip
Ballin Boas/Geckos you can get them almost anywhere now. Walmart, CVS , Home Depot etc. They work great if you have a separate room for reptiles.

You mentioned a mite strip? How does that work could you do a short video of it?

@@JasonsExoticReptiles that's awesome thank you for getting back to me love the videos keep it up!!!
Good video
So is my 10 gal tank still good for my 3'8 boa?
4x2x2 PVC. Once they get 5-6 feet get a 6-8 foot PVC enclosure
No a 10 is too small. But thicker constrictor is clearly one of those people who thinks all creatures need huge cages, whether they're snakes or elephants. They cannot be reasoned with. A 4x2x2, or maybe 4x2x3 if you want a taller cage, is fine for any boa up to 8 feet or so.

Where do you get the mulch from? I can't find any in my area at a decent price
heavyset0223 I get min from a local farm feed store or a local reptile store that buys bulk bags. I pay about $10 for a big bag. 3ft bag.
Try chewy.com
Where you buy your bigger plastic tubs at??
They are freedom breeder racks.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles thanks my dude
What type of cypress mulch is it? Like what brand?
Agway brand. Comes from Agway/dodge grain
Price?????? on albino are they sharp or khal?
How big does a male red tail oa gets?
The no pest strips are great and I try to do the same thing. No shit given here.
Hey do u have any Nicaraguan het T+ males for sale or any hypo motley nicurarguan het T+ males also a male CA het T+ im looking for to anywear from a baby to an adult
What size tubs for an adult
Wear is my Pros-N-Cons Of Co-Breeding VID LOL LOL💯🐍🇺🇸
What makes the head of that 2:13 Boa C so dark in the image?
Just a variation in pattern
i em asking coz my own bcc got that same dark snout after failed attempt to shed her skin
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Cheers, but my bcc developed that exact same darkness to her snout after a bad shed (1st shed with me maybe i didnt notice the dark snout or so) but i have been climbing the walls over what causes it

Don't they need to bask?

To answer your actual question, not really. Boas are jungle animals, and probably rarely ever see direct sunlight, which basking animals do.
Also when do u think we can link up an do a quick vid id luv to see your collection an feature it on my channel also u can come ova my spot an do the same i dnt have nearly as many as u do but i have a pretty cool collection which features 15 boas 1 ball 1 burm 5 leapord geckos 2 cuban knight anoles 4 turtles a golden gecko a full grown breaded Dragon named STORM an 1 small reg green anole plus 2 bunnys an fish so lets link up do do a few cool vids

I have a suggestion. Can you show off some of the larger Boas?
Lance Edwards go toward the end of the video. Those are about as big as the average boa gets.
Jason's Exotic Reptiles. I know that lol. I wanted you to show off your larger boas and what you have for sale. Just giving you ideas plus i would like to see.

@Quann Frazier blocked lol
Check out short tail or blood pythons. Unlike all the rumors, totally tame.
Bro I love your Boa's. Keep up the good work
Thanks man!
