Well actually i forgot the members name on here who also lives in NYC who put me on to making a acrylic top to the tank to sit between the screen cover and tank. Just have to find a glass shop and have them custom cut a 1/2 inch thick of acrylic specific size for the tank. It sits right on the edges on the top of the tank, couple of holes drilled into it and then u put the screen cover over it. Keeps the humidity insanely great. I never have to spray or mist the tank down, it stays at 70-75% all the time with just a full water dish. When shedding i spray it down once a week to bump it up.
    Sounds good then, you'll still have to eventually ditch the tanks but if you can make it work it will work for a juvenile. Adults can and have shattered glass tanks just by striking at the walls or pushing against them. This doesn't always happen, since boas aren't the most stubborn species (individuals definitely can be though), but the capability is there. Heck, if I didn't mind the shards in my hand I bet I could squeeze and shatter my 10 or 20 gallon tanks. I can hear them groaning and grinding if I squeeze.

    (Just keep in mind it should always be 70-80% not just in shed with boas, that's fine for bps but boas need it all the time.)
