    Question What size enclosures are you guys using?

    For RTB of course...

    If you want to add more details like what type of enclosure, how you heat/light, average temps and humidity, what you have in it, etc.. that'd be greatly appreciated. Or even a picture

    I use a 4'x2' boaphile. 2 2' sections of flex under the hot side set on a t-stat at 91 degrees. Room light is all they have and the humidity is usually around 50%

    Thanks PC-n-CB,
    Don't take this the wrong way, b/c I know very little about RTBs but does that allow alot of room for roaming. I ask b/c I don't plan on having alot of snakes so I wouldn't mind having larger enclosures that allow plenty of space for a natural look and roaming.

    A 4' by 2' is fine for a single adult female but larger is always fine too. I know of people that use 6' by 2' cages for adults and some that say 4' is fine. I personally use 4' but if any of my boas get too big, I'll upgrade.

    For the meantime, I am using a VE-175 tub from ReptileTubs.com. My boa is around 7.75-8ft now and 25lbs. She has plenty of room to stretch out, sit on her hide, throw her water bowl around, etc.

    Re: What size enclosures are you guys using?

    I have my (jeez, how old is she? 2 years old I think) BCC female in a 4' x 2' x 2' display cagee. While she does like climbing vertically when she's handled, she spends 95% of her time in her hides (mmm, hiiiides). Being that she's BCC, she could outgrow the cage, at which point we will upgrade her as necessary. =)
