    I keep mine in boaphile cages. 4' x 2' x 1'H. I'd love to have higher cages though so they could climb.

    Boaphile Plastics
    PVC cages
    Animal Plastics
    Proline cages

    Do some web searchs.

    I was looking at the Boaphile 421D, a buddy is selling one for even cheaper than the pretty low new price tag...Is the low height really an issue?

    I don't think height is a health concern.

    But if a BCI, BCC, or simular boa is given a chance they will climb around and perch up in some branches or on some ledges. I think it is good for them to get some exercise.

    Another option is the VE-175 tub. I am considering this because I kind of like the top access. Although not as attractive as the PVC and Melamine cages, I think access and cleaning would be easier. I still have a few more months to think about it...
