Cage Size.

graynightblue May 20, 2006 10:49 AM

Is there any disadvantage to having a baby boa in a larger cage? I have the chance to pick up a 200 gallon for a realy good price. Would it be ok for my baby boa to use this as long as the hides are all small enough for her size? Or would a large cage overly stress her? Thanks!

It seems like overkill, not really necessary, but I don't see any problems with it. Make sure to provide a basking spot with a temp around 90, and a cooler end in the mid 80s or so, and there shouldn't be any problems that I can think of.

I know it's a bit much. But I can't pass up the cage for 35 usd. It's just too good. It will also give her room to grow into. It will also let me give her lotsa of toys to climb on and hie in.
