Oh, I must have skipped over the 8ft part. I think that is a little big, unless you're getting an older snake. A young boa needs a smaller, more secure enclosure.

you are never going to get away from mites outside... no matter how good its closed and away from mites they can always get in.. and if it was closed off then there wouldnt be any vents am i correct?

I still don't think you should get this snake unless you're housing it indoors. A colombian boa, though they are common, is a big responsibility. Are you prepared to have to feed this thing large rats or rabbits on a regular basis? I think you should think about this a bit more.

well, we've all given you advice. There are many people on this site, some of which have given you advice about this, that have been keeping snakes for years and are extremely experienced. I think you should take what we're saying to heart, but in the end, it's up to you. I just feel sorry for the snake that you're not thinking clearly about.

My boa is just a baby and I'm already feeding her small rats every seven days. I have a feeling that once she gets about 6ft, I'll be feeding her rabbits whenever she acts hungry.

I'm not offended as a Canadian. I'm offended as a reptile breeder and animal lover.

1. Mites and ticks
2. Weather
That should be enough. & you cannot control the weather.
