Not gonna lie the two snakes in a well done display can look real cool I'm just sure i don't have the space or resources to try I would like to know more from the guys who do it like see their set ups and all but I understand can't make anyone show me anything. just skip an wilomn you two seem to have the experience with this that most us are lacking.
    I'm not a boa guy.

    With arboreal colubrids, they are kept in large arboreal cages. Thrasops and rhamnophis in 4x4x2 cages with overhead RHPs, a ton of branches and several hanging birds nests at various levels. I have my pair of p. poecilonotus in a a 6'x4'2' cage and my spilotes pair in a cage of the same size.

    P. Olfersii are kept in a 4'x3'x2' cage - same with p. viridissimus.

    For comparision, single adult olfersii are housed in 30"x20"x20" arboreal cages.
