Man that's crazy I can't get over how small they start out compared to how big the end up!
Very nice snake! Welcome to our hobby and site.
Cheers,

i would say he could fit comfortably in a 55 till he was 5 feet.
hes a very pretty boa by the way, i believe if a person can take care of their needs right they make great first snakes.

Very nice boa constrictor! The tail is absolutely electric! You did well in getting a baby boa for your first snake (as opposed to a larger boa for instance.) This way, as the snake grows and becomes a LOT stronger, so you will become more adept at handling its increasing strength. Welcome to the hobby, to the site, and to the wonderful world of boas.

Is he considered a "normal" color boa? I see there are different names for them.

He's a very cute little guy! Yup, he would be considered a normal. You can check out a variety of boa morphs at kingsnake .com/boamorphs

i got a cave but he never goes in it, just curls up on the warm side and sleeps all day, at night he roams around and climbs on his branch, cant wait to feed him this weekend.

Don, boa constrictors are not as nervous as ball pythons or colubrids. None of my boas even have hides, not even the babies. If they are in a large tank, the only time you need to worry about them not having enough hides if they start to go off feed. I noticed with my boas that when I did put a hide in their enclosures, they preferred to perch on top of it, right out in the open.
