Hello everyone. About a month ago, I rescued a Colombian Red Tail Boa. She had been badly neglected; her substrate was full of bugs, she was thin from not being fed properly and she was just not a happy girl. Since we cleaned her up and started feeding her, her disposition has become much better and we are able to handle her with no problems. Yesterday I bought her a new aquarium (55 gal, up from the 20 long she came with -- she's about 3 feet long). It's a brand new aquarium, complete with regular aquarium lid. The old cage has the regular reptile screen top, but the hubby thinks its not good for holding in moisture. She did have her first shed with us and it didn't come off all in one piece as it should. Would it be okay to keep the regular aquarium top on her new viv I will set up, or should we get her a screen top? I am going back and forth with this and don't know what to do. We live in Florida, so you'd think moisture wouldn't be a problem, but...

Any thoughts?
