Enclosure question for Hogg island boa(please answer asap)
hey im getting a 09 hog island boa in a few months im wondering if i could put her straight into a 55 or 60 gallon tank? would it stress her? id have a BUNCH of branches and plants in it and a few hides. im doing this to save money because a freind of mine is giving me a deal.

Well, for a baby, having a smaller enclosure would make them feel more secure. But, if you know the proper husbandry needed for this species you can put it in the 55 gallon. Just make sure there is really no open space, because the open space is most likely to cause her stress.

Lol I bet.
My collection is doing pretty good, and I most likely see some great changes with the snake that has RI. He's doing great, and in fact right now he's shedding. I'm at my dads, and I don't have my snakes or anything here. Most of my snakes are out and about at night though :]

i would love to use a tub. but dont they need a place to climb and stuff? tubs dont offer that. also, tubs are kinda desighned for saving space, i dont need to save space. and i tried to use a tub for my ball python, and i drilld 200+ holes in it and the humidity was too high.
but it is a possibility if its cheeper. do you think she could handle the higher humidity? its like between 70 and 85% with newspaper and wheni drilll 200 holes in it lol.
how would i set it up? and what size tub?
