First and foremost, the number one rule of boa husbandry is to NEVER house more than one together unless for breeding purposes. Boas are solitary by nature and polygamous as far as breeding is concerned. Keeping them together can cause undue stress on both and unwanted litters of babies when housing a male and a female together.

As far as building a cage is concerned, I personally wouldn't attempt it, but then again I am not a pro with the carpentry skills. With the number of attractive cages available (Boaphile, Cages by Design, AP, etc) that are pre-made, I see no reason to build a cage. These cage makers have herping and cage building experience that makes buying one of their products an easy choice IMHO as generally all the weaknesses of cages have been thought of and addressed (temperature, humidity, weight, aesthetics, etc). Just my two cents.
