I recently purchased a Cages By Design Cage. Its 60 X 48 X 36. It has a top with 3 250w dome lights. It has the Y log and the log that rests on the Y log. It has 3 shelves all at different hights. A gallon water bowl... I was wondering how suitable of an enclosure would it be for a Boa. I am interested in an juv/adult male. Im not really interested in Breeding. Well that would be the setup. What do you think. Just incase your not familiar with their cages www.cagesbydesign.com
Thanks

I've seen those before and they can be nice display cages. I know several people have used them well and have very happy, healthy boas.
I would probably focus on the heating of the cage, and securing a range of temps in the cage for your boa.
I would probably focus on humidity too, and would maybe even varnish and silicone seal the inside of the wood cage (If in fact I do remember correctly it being Wood, and if it is not treated already) for further protection against mites and wear and tear, as well as water proofing.

Other than that, I know alot of first time boa owners, especially if they are male, tend to look for a male boa as their first pet.
At the end of the day, it would be very difficult to sell a male, if you were to ever need to get rid of it, for whatever reason.
Adult females are always in demand.

Best wishes!
