I hope to be getting a BRB in a couple of weeks and I already have an enclosure that measures 5'w x 3'd x 7't that I had set up for my iguanas. Both Iguanas are getting new enclosures and I was wondering if this one would be appropriate for my BRB once he is bigger?
For the igs I already maintain an ambient temp of 80 degrees (of course they had warmer basking areas with UVB up top)and I can easily adjust warmer and cooler areas for a rainbow boa. I also already maintain 65% humidity which can be easily adjusted with misters, plus there is a good size pool in the bottom.
I know that some BRB like to climb a bit, but is there a chance that one would even venture past the bottom couple of feet? I would love for him to use the whole habitat, I just wasn't sure if he would or not.
Anyway, plese let me know what you think. If you don't think it is a good idea, then I still have plenty of time to get another enclosure. Thanks!

Here's a quick pic of the habitat.

Bel,
. That is a beautiful cage. It probably will work very well for adult BRBs. If the humidity is an issue you can seal up or cover some of the gaps where air circulates in and out of the cage. The one thing to consider is that your Iguanas stayed out in the open "on display" in that cage and BRBs will spend most of the daylight hours hiding in and behind the vegetation. At night they will be climbing all over in the cage.

Thanks! I don't mind if they hide during the day. We already have blue and red "night time lights" for heat and viewing, plus we will be transferring the enclosure into our bedroom so that should work out well!
