Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi everyone! I have a predicament. I LOVE Boas. Whenever I have gone to add a new reptile to my collection, I've spent a lot of the time staring at or handling them. The thing is, I can't accomodate for an adult Columbian Red Tail. The largest enclosure size I can provide is 4'x24"x24". Are there any smaller boa species that make suitable pets and I can house in the above enclosure?(beside rosy, rubber, and sand boas, which don't appeal to me)
Thanks a bunch for any replies!

a 4'X 2'X 1' cage. The most common choice of Boa breeders is the 421D Boaphile Plastics cage by these dimensions, or a similar cage from another manufacturer.

Also, you may want to look into dwarf locales of imperator. I'm biased, but I'd rather have a dwarf BCI locale than one of the smaller boid species.

A number of males are full grown at 4ft. and very slender. A few insular locales and mainland forms are full grown at 5ft. for females or smaller. Tarahumara Mt. females have been bred at just over 3ft.

RioBravoReptiles.com has a lot of information on the smaller BCI, as well as many other boas.

If all your after is a "Pet Boa" then I would suggest getting a "MALE" Hog Island,if fed conservetively he will easily stay under 6 foot and live comfortably in that size cage.
Shop around and youll find a quality breeder with some good deals this time of year.I would check with Gus @ Riobravoreptiles. He always has quality stock and their very reasonably priced(for what you get)
