    Boa tub size

    So I'm thinking of getting a female arabesque boa that's about 4.5' at this current time. I have everything I need except the tub. I have been doing my research for a bit but the topic of tub/cage size always ends up with various answers. Can someone help me out?

    You may be able to get by with a 41qt or larger tub but honestly id go straight for a 4-6 foot viv for her. I recommended 6' for Colombian females.

    Re: Boa tub size

    I would suggest to just get a 4*2*1 enclosure right from the start since she had good size already.

    The guy I'm looking at getting her from said he would sell me the 4' boaphile she resides in as well.

    You might get a better deal if you buy the package but you might be taking a risk buying poss hets and hets if you wanna breed in the future. But if you like them, then go for it

    Re: Boa tub size

    If you like them and can get a package deal/discount I'd say go for it. Arabesque are one of my favorite boa morphs! I keep my sub adult bci's and my dumerils boas in iris ve-175w tubs. They are Xmas tree totes that measure 52 5/16 l x 20 5/16 w x 14 5/16 t with the lid. Without they are only 12 tall.

    I know I'm taking a risk on the hets but he's only asking $440 for the two boaphiles and snakes, plus the odds and ends he has. I don't think it's that bad a deal since the arabesque is worth more than that already.
