Hello everyone I eventually want to get a Red Tail boa when I move and have more room but was wondering if this cage would be enough room. Or should I just give this cage to a hogg Island boa. I would much rather get a Red tail Boa because I believe it would be a lot more fun to watch it grow but I only want to get one if I can give it adquate space.

The cage I going to get is not the first but the second one:
IS that enough space for a Red Tail or just would that be small, if not I'll just give it to a hogg Island. I was going to put better hid boxes and climbing branches in their for them. along with a better pool syestem.
I was even thinking about getting a misting syestem somehow I going to convert that into a little rainforest effect just havn't figured out yet.
* I heard hogg's like to burrow what sustance would be good for them to burrow??

Additonal information
Even though I have never owned a snake I have watched my friends make mistakes and made suggestions to them. In all honesty I most likely could provide a better home, aswell as patience for the snake.
Yes I know a boa constricor (large snake) is toatlly different than a sometimes nippy difficult eater ball python. This is something that I am willing to put time and effort. This is the number one reason why I want a boa as my snake because I only want one snake and I might as well get the snake I like.
*I haven't decided yet which snake to get do any of you know which snake pound per pound is stronger, The red tail or the hogg island? any thoughts on this would help.
I want a snake that will get about 8-10 ft long but a snake that will have room to roam in that cage. So if that cage is to small for a snake that big, I would rather just get a smaller snake but still want to stick with boa's.
