What are your experiences, which one is right? And how high the enclosure for an adult ATB should be?
I have had relatively little experience with tree boas. I generally try to find how a snake behaves in the wild. See this link:
http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/...us_hortulanus/. That says "Most Corallus hortulanus specimens studied are found 1 to 2 m or more above the ground in trees or other vegetation. They have also been observed active on the ground." For what it's worth, here's my opinion--the cage should be between 1.5 and 7 feet high with at least one branch to climb on.
