Post your BCI cage...

Here's Apache's digs.. I added some sterilized driftwood and he loves winding around it/resting his head on it. He is not a hiding snake; had hides in there for a long time and he just winds himself around them; this is not a temperature issue, so we decided to just put in objects that he can feel secure in between. I plan on improving it by getting clear glass doors instead of the scratched up plexi ones on the cage's front; this cage could be a lot more attractive if I worked on it! It had a divider in it that we removed.
We treated for mites last week; once they are gone I will switch back to aspen, since he likes burrowing for some reason :) My '06 BP is in the r-maid atop hos cage. (she was in shed; humidity high.)

I use a rack for mine.:D

Cool; I thought of putting him into my BP rack, but he is already on the larger size for the tubs and would be outgrowing it in the near future anyway. This cage is large enough for awhile yet; I plan on building a melamine box type cage for him in the next few years, when he seems to be outgrowing this one. I only plan on having one BCI so a rack would not be needed; that is an ADORABLE boa pic by the way!!

We use a mixture of tubs and Boaphile cages.

These were our older Melamine cages we built for $100/w heating & lighting per 4X2 and they lasted 5yrs+. They were as good as the day we took the apart as the day we built them. Melamine works great and holds well with a little TLC.

IMO, you can house male boas in tubs all their lives if fed moderately and not overfed. But, you're right if all you plan on having is one Boa a rack would be overkill. But, you can always build the rack to stack multiple sized tubs. Set your boa in one shelf, a couple BP's in another 1-2-3 shelves, set up your accessories and cleaners in another shelf, just a thought.

Here are some pics.

And the pastel/salmon-colored beauty. I've yet to see a non-morph look better. She is an absolute stunner!

Gerry- Holy cow man. Got enough Boaphiles yet? haha.

Here's Carmen's 20L from a few months ago - she has bigger hides now and uses them, so we'll keep providing them =):

What size tubs are you referring to?

I'll post my largest boa's house after work tonight... :)

He probably means a tub like this one. This boa is over 6 feet long.
This is a 72 qt tub. The boa is taking up only one half of the tub in this pic.

You can use the Iris 110's, like the one in the picture with the Hypo DH Ghost. He's about 5ft in that picture and as you can see he has plenty of room to move around.
