I'm hoping to find what I need at the Hamburg show in Feb. but if I don't are there any companies that make racks that can capacitate adult boas?

Freedom breeders are the only ones that come to mind for housing adults.

For true Boa Adults other then the FB or those like it that is about all I was able to find in a true rack setup.. but they were not setup like I wanted so my wife and I put our heads together and came up with our own design. It was much cheaper and works much better for us. We have gone on to improve on this design as the new unit we built is also coated with FRP (thin plastic) on the inside for easy cleaning and no porus wood to soak up the nasties.

You can see in the pic how we have put it together. The heat tape is on the left side which gives a great radient heat they can use.

We have both of the freedom breeder 66 inch & 48 inch rack systems anything but the very biggest boas (10ft / 50lbs ) will do fine in the 48 inch rack we won't use any thing else. These racks are flat out the best space savers and we've never had any problems as a matter of fact we beleive that because of the switch we have had better breeding success good luck Scott
