I will always vouch for carpets as well, though, as everyone else has pretty much said, a 40 gal might be cramped for an adult male even, but you would have time to buy a larger, more suitable enclosure if you buy a neonate or even a yearling. Best of luck in your hunt.

I agree. A 40 gallon will house a carpet python for about 2-3 years before it starts to get a little cramped.

Would a 40gallon breeder work for a amazon tree boa?

It's a bit cramped for an arboreal species. What about African house snakes? Well under your budget and super cool snakes. Very tolerant of handling, very laid back demeanor, and would live comfortably in your tank. You could use a heat pad hooked to a thermostat, and buy plexiglass to cover the top. Just drill holes for ventilation, however many you need.

I'm also looking at a Indonesia tree boa
they're cheap, stay relatively small, don't look to hard to care for, and are a bit more exotic

I'm very interested in getting a amazon tree boa and once it reaches it's adult length taking two 31 gallon tubs and putting one upside down on the other to make a arboreal tub set up.
I would need to buy a zoomed hygrotherm with a reptifogger and heat mat (I don't have the means to mist the tank that often) a sterlite tub and a garden or Halloween phase atb. I'm thinking I could get all of that within my 200$ budget range.
What do You guys think?
