    Re: Might get a bigger snake

    I'm trying to find sites online that carry those types of cages and reptile basics's largest reptile cage is a 2X4. Do you know anywhere I can find a larger one?

    Sooo many choices!!! You can make one yourself with any of the many plans and ideas offered by posters. You can get a relationship going with Rich at RBI and beg him to make you a custom <ahem>. You can also go to one of the many online sites that already manufacture large cages. Tons of choices and a few vendors and products to choose from. Good luck with your search and let me know what you decide on...

    Males stay smaller than females. 2x3x14 will most likely be sufficiant for a male. If he gets big enough then a 2x4x14 would be fine. I keep my big female, 6.5' 12.5lbs, in a 2x4x12, and she is doing just fine. I buy all of my cages from Reptile Basics. They are great. Hope this helps.

    Re: Might get a bigger snake

    Well I found bigger cages if they are needed. I don't plan on getting a female. I want to start off with a male since they are smaller and once I've had the male for a while, MAYBE get a female. So I want to hear from a few more boa keepers before I go off and buy a cage. I won't be getting a large cage like this at first. I will probably start off with something smaller since I plan on getting a baby and keep it in a tub.

    Another question. What heat pad should I use for a tub for a baby? I know to use it under a thermostat and plan on getting one when I get the other supplies. And what surfaces are safe to put the pad on?

    You really don't need a 6x2x2... The one you listed would be fine for a small adult, otherwise move into the 4' range.

    I'd like to know this as well. I saw a few Salmons at a recent show for $250 a piece. They were absolutely gorgeous as babies... how are their colors as adults?
