yellow's are kinda like boas but need a bigger water dish and a substrate that holds humidity well my pet store always has spagnum moss so thats what i use every thing else just like boas

Ya-- that... lol

I don't use a huge water dish-- just a standard size one, like I would for any other snakes.
If they soak too much they get kinda smelly and can get scale rot and its just gross.

I use a humid hide-- Like a 32 qt or a little larger, with moss or cypress in it-- and newspaper in the rest of the cage. We don't have problems with our girl shedding or anything.

I posted fresh shed yellow pics of our girl on here somewhere.

Yellows don't get nearly as big as greens-- our girl is about 8 foot, maybe a little longer and super tame.

Good luck!

Some people are like slinkies, completely useless, but bring a smile to your face when pushed down a flight of stairs
