Adult Male Boa in Rack?

skyfire_1 Jul 27, 2012 06:44 PM

Hope this question wasn't asked too much in the past, but I have two Male BCC's (2012). I was wondering if there is a good Tub Rack system out there that could handle Adult Male BCC's?

I am thinking the CB70 may be too small for a Adult Male? How about the 74 Qt Model# 1966? I am only looking for a rack with 3 or 4 tubs in it.

Are there any Tub Racks out there with only a Three or Four tub option?

Thank You...

Male Boas are FULLY adult at 4'. They fair better long term at this smaller size. As such, they don't need a monstrous tub to thrive. A 32 quart tub is perfect for this size. I never raise a male past 5'. Some people just can't resist feeding their males every time they feed their females. That will result in the need for those much larger enclosures, higher feeding expenses, higher housing expenses, requires more total cage space, more labor and those males that are potentially too large to breed some smaller or younger females. Breeding a smaller male to a BIG female is never an issue though.

Food for thought.

Mr. Ronne said it best! I've got my adult males in Boaphile "Ball Room" Racks (41 qt.) and they have room to spare.
