    Hog Island Boa enclosure

    I recently picked up a female Hog Island boa and I was just wondering what size tub would I be able to keep her in till adulthood. Or should I just get a full size enclosure. I know they grow slightly larger than an adult female BP. I currently have her in a 20gal Long tank. Any input would help. Thanks in advance.

    Re: Hog Island Boa enclosure

    ive heard boa's dont get stressed like bp's do from being in large enclosures when theyre young, so you could go straight to a large enclosure, bush it some, and thin it out as the snake ages, the 421d from boaphile is perfect for adult boas

    I know you said tub but a 20 gallon long will be ok for now. Our adult female is almost 5ft long and we keep her in a 40 gallon breeder. It is a good size for her even if she does reach 6 ft.

    You can get a 40 breeder at Petco when they have their 1$ per gallon sale = $40. It comes around every 6 months or so.
