Question
hello i have some questions regarding a hogg island boa. i was wondering what kind of light to use and what kind of things would need to be in there to make the snake happy and if i built my own tank what kind of wood to use and, ive been looking at a snake on the internet and i found one that i really like but the guy only want 50 dollars for in and what are some signs to looks for on the snake to see if it was healthy and the guy breeds snakes but its all out of it house. but the pics that i have seen of the snake it looks good.

Answer
1. Use full spectrum lighting.

2. The snake will need a hide and something to climb on.

3. Any wood other than cedar and pine should work.

4. 50.00 for a hogg island boa is very low. I would expect to spend between 200 and 400 for a good quality snake from a reputable breeder. Replay with a link to the breeder and I will take a look.
