Default Cage question?

Any idea if a 4x2x2ft viv is big enough for a 6ft male boa?

I would go for a 5' minimum.......but 6' would be better mate.
They also like to climb so branches would not go a miss
here is my 6x3x2......3 foot high...I have 2 in there but they love the room and height

4 foot mate but he is a bit different.......he was kept in large rubs before I had him .......he is fine there...he stays put at one end or the other.
he is also about a third the girth of the boas
hope that is what you wanted to know and you were not doubting my herping ?

If you look at the picture....you can see the mack (just left of the cobra)......thats how he normally is...
It was Daves snake and he is very happy with it so that is good enough for me.
He is here a bit too so sees it quite often when we meet up
