    juvenile boa in 4ft enclosure??

    hello,
    about a month ago i got a really nice female juvenile BCI at a reptile show. i had ordered a boa master cage two weeks prior to the shiw and received it a week after i purchased the snake. Anyways i really want to get this girl in a 4 ft as I HATE using a tank and the reptifogger im using must be broken, i would rather spray every other day or so than use that. im wondering if i will be stressing her out by putting her in there...i was told she is about 2 years old but shes slow grown and quite small but definitely has some mass to her. i feel like she would love it, but theres alot of experience on here so id rather grt some opinions first. thanks!!

    They aren't intimidated by large spaces like some other species. As long as you provide adequate hides, she'll be quite content.

    Exactly this!

    Also if your enclosure has a RHP for heat and there is enough space available to put something under it for her to perch on, she will likely spend a lot of time there. Small boas love to climb.
