Hi everyone!

What is an average size enclosure that I will need for my male BCI when he reaches full adulthood?

He's about 8 months now and in a 30 gallon glass enclosure.

thank you

Adult boa's on average need a minimum of 4'x2'x2', you can maybe bring the height down 6" or so. But that’s a minimum.

thinking in gallon terms---what would that average?

I keep most of my adult male Boas in 4'x2'x2' with no problems since they are around the 6' mark. Adult females some are in 5'x2'x2' and some of the larger females are in 6'x2'x2' and some of the breeding cages are the huge Vision cages 6'x3'x18". But in general you can keep a 7' female in a 4'x2'x2' with no problems. I have bred Boas in that size cages many times.:)
