Adult Brazilian Rainbow Boa enclosure Size

[Epicrates4life]

I have a 66Q rubbermaid thats 32"length 19"width 15"height. Is that Big enough to house an adult BRB. I think its big enough till I put the water bowl in which is big. It takes up a little of the left side of the rubbermaid. How big should the water bowl be in the rubbermaid and what is a good size rubbermaid, or is the one i have good?

The one you have is too small for an adult.

We found a large sterilite-type box that measures somewhere around 4x2x1.5 at CostCo for like $8.00. I can't remember precisely (and of course we removed the label) but I believe its around 50 gallons or so which is upwards of 170 quarts.

Thats what we house our ~3yr old/5ft BRB in and it should be plenty big for him to stay in permanently if we don't buy or build anything else.

The water bowl you put in should be large enough for the snake to submerge himself in if he decides he needs to soak (though keeping the humidity high enough, we've never seen ours soaking - doesn't mean they don't do it, just that we've never seen it).

Good luck.
