Hi all - you all sold me on getting a boa as opposed to a ball python (how could I have ever thought otherwise?) and am making some advance planning for bringing home my first snake. I have a starter setup in a 20 gallon aquarium, but want to give some thought to the adult enclosure now, since I only want to build it once!
I've heard the requirements for floor space for a boa are 1 square foot of cage area per foot of snake length - is that true? Also, what should the ratio of cage length to width be for a boa? If I have a 6 foot snake, will it be happy in an enclosure six feet long and 1 foot deep? (I'm thinking about converting a melamine bookcase, and they're usually no more than a foot deep.)
