    Enclosure size for Hogg?

    Can anyone recommend an appropriate enclosure size for a male Hogg Island Boa? I've checked out some care sheets and I'm seeing conflicting info...I think because there are so many crosses out there that tend to get a little bigger than a pure Hogg??? I wouldn't think they would need anything bigger than what an adult Ball would need...maybe something a little taller though...

    Re: Enclosure size for Hogg?

    I would say for a pure line hogg, a female would need a 4' by 2' and she would be fine. An adult male would make use of one that size for sure. I wouldn't go smaller than a 3' by 2' for a male hogg. If you have the room, a 4' by 2' cage would be best for a LARGE one. Its really up to you.

    Re: Enclosure size for Hogg?

    What about height? I imagine they would need something with a little more height than the standard Sterilite tub, which is what I have my snakes in now. I would love to be able to just buy another AP 3 tub rack and call it done, but I'm thinking they need something that allows them to climb around on some branches, etc...

    Adult boas aren't big climbers. 12" would be enough height IMO. I have a branch/fake tree that stands about 10" high and Ruby climbs on it only every once in a while. Height isn't a HUGE issue at all

    Height really doesn't matter.

    If it's a small male, a 3'x2' cage is fine.. large male, 4'x2'.
