Adult Female "Columbian" Boa Cage
My Boa is still fairly small (maybe 4'), but I would like to start looking into her permanent housing. Do you guys have a preference as to what you like for your Boas? I was looking into the Boaphile cages, but what size do you think is best? Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks!

At 4' I think you could probably go for maybe a 5X2 or 6X2 cage with maybe just a bit of "clutter" (fake plants, etc) in the beginning. That way she will be fine in the cage now but will also be able to grow into it and you won't have to worry about changing the cage for a while.

IMHO, you can go with a 421D.

Personally I keep my adult "Colombian" female boas in 6' T25's from animal plastics, I wouldn't ever keep a large active adult female in a 4' cage way to small in my honest opinion.

I was thinking something in the 6' x 2' range too. Do you know if AP offers the T25 w/ locking hinges? I didn't see it on their site if they do.

6x2 this way it gives her room to grow and as long as she dont get insanely big ya wont have to upgrade again. just get some litter boxes and use they as a hides at first till she feels comfortable

Re: Adult Female "Columbian" Boa Cage
Six foot cages professional plastic cages are extremely overpriced, IMO. My Colombians get 4x2 cages. I have some from Reptile Basics, but I have been getting them lately from Repti-racks, because of the price.

Just an FYI, Mr Boaphile recommends and keeps most of his collection including females in 421D. ;-)

I think that most boa breeders would agree that six foot cages are not really necessary. They take up more space, are harder to heat, and Colombians do fine in four foot cages. Mine are healthy, eat well, and breed readily in four foot cages.
