    If she tops out around eight feet any commercial enclosure maker would work... Boamaster, Boaphile, AP, etc. If she gets up to 9-10 feet look into the 60" wide enclosure offered by ConstrictorsNW.

    My boas are all in the 48" Boamasters at the moment, but they're under seven feet so it's a good fit. The downside is I have the melamine cages, not PVC, so they are HEAVY.

    If any eventually get up to 9' long I'm getting the ConstrictorsNW 60" PVC enclosure for it.

    They are BCI not BCC so it's pretty low. Even if it does happen, it's years off, and if it does I'll have an empty enclosure to fill should one need an upgrade. :D

    Most BCI females stay around 8' I believe, but I'm no expert. If you have a BCC, then it's a whole other kettle of fish.

    Cserpents also makes cages, and I've heard good things about them too. When I purchase my cage, I'll be looking at constrictors nw, cserpents, and animal plastics.

    I am intrigued by the boamaster pvc cages, but have heard he can be hard to get a hold of (I think he prefers to be called). Avoid boaphile, all I've read about him points to long delays and bad communication, but again, I have no personal experience.

    Doesn't it also depend where they origiginate From?, if I'm not mistaken... Would you say the constrictors nw60 would be beneficial for her?
