boa cage

[knight45]

yesterday i bought a juvy BCI and will be making a cage for her this week (don't worry she is still at the pet store) my question is should i make a 6' cage or is 4' enough.

i gotta 6 foot for my male...bigger is always better

Well if it a true female then I would recommend the six foot enclosure as females tend to be larger then males.A adult enclosure may be a bit overwhelming for a baby , but with lots of hides she would be fine .Good luck .

i wont put her in 6' right way i have a 30g tank with 2 BP in it. i'll put her in the the tank and MY BP's in the cage for now. I know that 6' is to big for a baby.
the guy at the pet store said he was pretty sure it was a female, but the guy who does the sexing wasn't there so i have to wait to find out for sure.
what i may do is build a 4' for now then when she gets bigger in a couple of years, is build her a new cage. then i will have an empty cage i can put something else in!!

My friend built a six foot and put a divider in it and took it out once his was big enough for the whole enclosure , thats probably better then building two enclosures . Good luck .

yeah...except an empty enclosure is an excuse to buy another snake

That's the way look at it K. Except that at some point you might have to look for a new house to hold all the enclosures. I'm building two more now...enclosures to houses. lol

dont put the snake in with your BP's its just unneed stress..
my self i wouldent ever keep any snake with another unless they are breeding.. then soon as they are done take em out..
hope you do so too:)

[knight45]

you misundrstood me data. what i said was i would put the BP's in the new enclosure and the BCI in the tank that the BP's were in.

My son-in-law is getting two new snakes, a 8ft redtail and a 10ft burmese from some gal who keeps them both togther in the same room, she says they are buddies and she won't sell them separately.
