Hello i've been looking around and i think i like the new EUROPEAN DESIGN
GLASS TERRARIUMS By Exo-Terra what size would be good size
12"x12"x12" $39.99 SHIPPING $10.99
12"x12"x18" $49.99 SHIPPING $14.99

18"x18"x18" $69.99 SHIPPING $19.99
18"x18"x24" $99.99 SHIPPING $24.99 I don't think any of these is a good size so i might have to scratch that idea out. But input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Aaron

Are these cages a good size and do they work well for these snakes?

ummm....tree boas can get 8' long and those cages are ok for dart frogs. I think you should look bigger.......much bigger.

I've never heard of a ATB getting 8' only 6' thanks Aaron

alot of arboreals do well in 2x2x2 sized cages. maybe 3x2x2 if it is a large one. check out barrs at www.herpcages.com they have nice cages at good prices. animal plastics,visons, and boaphiles are good too. i use a vision 222 for my chondro, no problems. it is also kept in a climate controlled room so temps/humidity aren't a problem.

The biggest cage that would work is only 20x20x20 would that work? it's only 100.00 bucks and would a infered work for heating it or should i go ahead and get the flexwatt from Matt. ?

Im not worried about the prize i just want to get him into a enclosure so i can view him at night instead of the Tub i have him in now. I want a good size but not to big so the temps and Humidity is good.

if the tree boa is not a huge one, a 20 inch cage would work. most of the time he's going to be wrapped up on something any way. the 24 inch wide one would give a little more thermal gradient from side to side. i use ceramic heat emitters on arboreals, they work great. you can arrange the perches/branches to give him different spots to bask. the barrs you can get with 2 perches that allows them to choose where they want. always use a thermomstat, they really work!
