suitable boa hide?

K!NGCYPRESS · 11-09-09, 02:03 AM

so i just built a 6ft tallx3x3 terrarium for my 2 boa's. currently in a 55 gal. tank with a wicker planter upside down for a hide(out grew the expensive little wooden one). im about to move them into the bigger better living space and was curious of any suggestions on in-expensive hides.??? besides i dont think they sell hides big enough for my boa.

Large flowerpot with a hole cut in turned upside down or on its side works well. So do tupperware or rubbermaid containers (the opaque ones) with holes cut in them and sanded down so the edges are smooth.

i suggest dividing the 6ft height in half and house each boa in its own enclosure. then in each enclosure give em a big opaque rubbermaid as suggested above.

depends on what you consider inexpensive? but where xmas is coming they sell those big wicker baskets that have condiments and what not in them for like 20 to 40 dollars depending on size. as well you could take a peek around michaels craft store if you have one in your area.

Will0w and City pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I found what looks like black plastic wash basins sorta like the rubbermade tubs for $1 at walmart I use those...
