Reptiles - Red Tail Boas


Expert: Edmund Brown - 7/16/2005

Question
Is it still possible to keep the boa in the same house?

Answer
Hi Nathan,
Yes. The tricky part is locating the litter box far enough from the snake and still where the cats can and will use it. I live in Florida in the USA and the air conditioning is on almost all the time. This makes the air in every room common as it is circulated by the central system. Colder climates would have the problem with central heat. Try to find a litter that will destroy the amonia and clean it often. Take notice when you come into the house if the odor is noticeable or not. If not you may be OK. You might even have to get a air purifier that kills airborne amonia for the snake room. Thanks.
