A 20 Long is suitable for the first year at best. Also, instead of spending money repeatedly, invest in a decent enclosure that can be partitioned at first and use many hides, and cover so the animal can feel secure.

I have a female Colombian who was 32 inches this time last year, and is now 56 inches. A 20 long would have been a waste of money (unless you plan to put another baby in it everytime one outgrows it - which is genius!)

Whatever you do, research RTB's well. Be well prepared and you will quickly become addicted to boas.
