help, what size cage?????

[dance2water]

I am getting a 5ft male "Cooks" tree boa. I would like to know what size enclosure I should use for him. The person selling him suggested a 20 gal aquarium, but I am not sure if this is the best size.

Also, if I get a female is it feasible to keep them together? I have seen that people often keep GTP's together.

And what size aquarium would I want for a pair together?

thanks

I personally stay away from glass caging for arboreals, they have problems keeping temp and humidity properly as well a poor cross ventilation. Check out Vision 222, Cool Criiters 30" cages, Boaphile 30" cages or B.A.R.R.S. 30" caging. Basically at least 28x24x24.
As far as houseing 2 snakes together, never 2 males and only 1 male and 1 female if you intend to breed. After breeding seperate. Otherwise always seperate individual snakes into their own housing. It reduces stress and makes record keeping easier(food, shed, defecation, etc.).
