Boa Haitian Health Information
Haitian Boas are large snakes that require a large, tall enclosure. They should be provided with branches to climb on. Temperature and humidity levels should tropical.
Juveniles are notoriously difficult to feed in captivity. Some hobbyists suggest raising humidity in order to promote feeding.
Breeding
While Haitian Boas have been bred in captivity, it is not common. Mating is more likely when more than one male is present. The snakes mate in winter and early spring. Haitian Boas give birth to live young, usually about six months after mating. They usually have around 15 babies, but some have upwards of around 40. Still births and infertility are common problems. Feeding the captive offspring is usually the biggest challenge as they will only eat small lizards.
