    Question Baby RTB housing...

    Did a search and couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for, but apologies in advance if this has already been asked

    I'm seriously considering getting a baby male RTB in the near future. I'll be switching Ra my BP to a tub enclosure soon and I'm wondering- would a 41qt tub be sufficient enough for the boa until he outgrows it? I'm not sure if a juvenile would prefer a smaller size enclosure or if they're perfectly fine having a bit of roaming room.

    Also, since I don't plan on getting a rack for some time, I was just going to buy another T-Rex Cobra mat and use it for the boa tub (if a 41qt ends up being adequate). Flexwatt seems a bit too complicated when I only have two tubs. I already have a Cobra mat for my BP and love it. What size mat should work for a 41qt? An 11" x 11" or an 11" x 17"?

    Thanks!

    Re: Baby RTB housing...

    I've got both of my baby boas in 32qt tubs. I set them up just like a tank. 2 hides, water bowl, a small piece of wood for climbing. Boas are not as spastic about open space like BP's are. Mine spend most of the time laying on or under their branch, or laying on top of the hides...

    Use whichever UTH will cover Approximately 1/3 of the floor but not more than 1/2 of it...
