can anybody tell me if the CRB needs the same care as a BRB or do i need to care for him different. and is a 75 gallon a good size for a full grown rainbow boa

Requirements are identical except the humidity doesn't have to be quite as high so I would go 70 or so more younger ones and less for adults and higher for babies. 75 is plenty big enough but unfortunately aquariums won't hold heat unless the top is nearly completely covered limiting ventilation (I would cover the warm and leave a little opening over the cool side unless you can provide about 1/8 even gap along the whole back wall or front). I would look up animal plastics, boaphile or something along those lines with a proportional or on/off thermostat like Helix (prop.), Herpstat (prop.) or Ranco (on/off).

so you dont thin getting pieces of plexi glass with wholes drilled in it that will fit the top of the cage will be enough air or should i look into something thats actually made for that?

Is this what you are talking about. I have all my brb's in tubs now but at one had two in these 20L but now they house some bci. I use 3/8 plexi (1/8 inch gap across worked for me) which is thick but 1/4 will work if you can get it flat enough and the width is no more 12 or so, any wider and it will be weak. hope it helps. don't drill holes until you need too on the top so you don't let much humidity out and just go from there

yea thats whats mines like. but the wholes are already drilled but its ok because i have my red tail in there now and i read they dont need a whole lot of humidity
