Yeah mate My mate recently had a baby so couldnt look after his 05 Boa (impulse buy i think) , it had no heat mat and in a glass tank with water and a hide, he said it was a right nasty bugger so i took it off his hands, got it home and took it out of the tank,,,,,WOOW it nearly took my face off so i sorted out heat bulbs, branches hides and foliage and got him out everyday, i thought my other Boas were calm but this one now is the sweetest one that i own. It just shows what a bit of love and the right conditions can do,and then they can become dreams to handle,, hes me best mate now
