Show me your Red Tail Boa Tanks/Tubs/Aquariums?

I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna set up the tank for Rambo. I've had him for about 3 weeks now and he still hasn't used any of his hides and seems to wander the cage constantly. I'm tryin to figure out how to make him more comfy.

I like the look of foresty tanks. I've got some fake ferns I'm going to put in there and hes got some fake moss he crawls around in.

Give me inspiration guys! :D

i know everyone says the log hides are crap but my girl who is just over 5 feet loves them she also likes to hide under her plants =]

she has grown alot since that pic was taken i just noticed lol XD

this is a 75 gallon tank which is now on accutrite a thermostat and i custom made two plexiglass lids and im usin an 22x11 uth and one 150 watt heat lamp =] maintains a perfect 55% humidity

I want to see some too, I'm interested in red tailed boas, I'd like to see some additional terrariums, do you have smaller ones for the babies? do is a 75 gallon the biggest you'll need?

I don't know the length of a 75g but I know that an adult female will need a 6ft enclosure at least. A male might not.
I saw an adult female at the pet store that they said was an RTB.. it looked more like another type of boa but I wouldn't know.. It was in a 125 gallon tank which seemed like a perfect size for her.

I don't know what the dimensions are on a 75 gal tank, but a grown boa will need a 4x2, with large females needing a 6x2. Tanks in general are a poor idea for boas. A grown boa is stronger than you think and can push out of a screen top if the mood takes her. Getting an AP or Boaphile is a better way to go as far as security and humidity/temp control.

Ooops, you're right- I ought to have been more clear in my post...
All of my girls will get a 6x2x2 reptile cage from AP. Grown boas are very strong and so I will choose the glass sliding door option for my girls. I'm certain that they would be able to push out a plexi door ;)

I'm guessing that keeping a boa in a tank might be a little tricky!! :O

the dimension on my 75 is 4x2x2

actually volume of a 4x2x2 tank would be close to 120 gallons a 75 gallon tank is 4ftx18"deepx 20"tall

This is my Suri's cage when we first set it up. It now unfortunately has no plants or logs to crawl as we've upgraded her to the largest hides Zilla makes, prohibiting us to getting anything else in there, hehe:

She's a bit bigger now at 6' and 7.6lbs. =)
