Re: how big should the cage be for red tail boas
It depends on what locality of boa we are talking about. If its a true red tail such as a surinam(sp?) a 6'x2' cage should suffice for an adult. If it is something like a columbian red tail boa a smaller cage of around 4'x2' should work for you. Hope this helps a little.
Re: how big should the cage be for red tail boas
colombians can get quite large too. just ask my 8 footer. ;)
but I agree mostly...
I like a 6x3x3 for large boas in the 10 foot range, and 4x2x2 for smaller boas like Nicaraguans and other small locale red tails.
Re: how big should the cage be for red tail boas
The biggest you can go within reason is better. An 8' boa could live in a 4' by 2' cage, she may be crampt a bit. I would say for anything in the 8-10'+ range, a 6' by 3' would be a good idea.
