Sand Boa Enclosures
a Male sand boa would do well in a 24' x 24' x 24' enclosure or do ya think he'd feel cramped in there?
I am having some custom enclosures built soon, probably from animal plastic or monstercages, RTB will be in a 8' x 24" x 24", and plan on stacking two 4' x 24" x 24" on top for the balls, then i'd like to also get four 24" x 24" x 24" to stack on top of those for some smaller types, trying to think of what interests me and will fit in that size. (I am going 8' x 24" x 24" for the RTB because I have a baby male green anaconda coming soon and thats the size footprint i plan on for him until I need a bigger enclosure for him, though his will be a more custom build and be 30" tall.)

He'll be fine. Males only get 15 inches or so full grown.

A male sand boa will only need something about 18"x12" full grown (something the size of a 10 gallon tank) A 2'x2' cage like that is really huge actually.

Mine are really laid back most of the time. Not nastly at all. They've never struck at me, but I have trouble getting them to eat f/t.

Mine is cool as can be. She has bit me one time but it was my fault. The females get bigger though. They range from 2-3 feet.

Re: Sand Boa Enclosures
My little guy is mellow as can be. He has only bitten me once and well that was my fault, but it didn't hurt at all - it tickled because he was so little. It just looked funny seeing this little earth worm sized snake try to bite my pinky finger.

Re: Sand Boa Enclosures
Typically they are very laid back snakes.. lazy buggers.

Re: Sand Boa Enclosures
My male was pretty handleable, and would never eat F/T. Just be sure there isn't any kind of gap in your caging. Mine squeezed his way out of a tank with a screen lid with 4 metal clips holding it down, and he was full grown. They can push and squeeze through some pretty small spaces. Awesome species though!!

I think he'd totally freaked out and lost, I think you meant " instead of ' 24 ft by 24 ft by 24ft, heck, I could live in that without a problem 
2 ft by 2ft by 2ft sounds a bit big to me.
