Display cages are very cool and hard work to build nicely and then keep clean. So good work! However, as mentioned earlier, the boa needs a heat gradient in order to properly digest food. Staying in the 70s all the time is not good. As babies they may climb, in the wild an adult will climb a sturdy branch, but in captivity not so much. Now when given an actual tree, sure they climb it. Mine are perfectly content in 4x2x1 cages with a cool side of about 82 and a hot side of about 91. I can almost assure you if I gave any of them a 5' tall cage with stuff to climb on, they would maybe use the first 1-2 feet, but mostly stick to the bottom.
