I find 4 x 2 x 2 plenty for all but the biggest female Boa's

mine have all been in 4x2x2`s as adults and has been plenty for them...although my big big girl i had (Stella) who was 11ft odd was in a 6x2.5x20in....but yeah a 4x2x2 is fine for all but the biggest boas

Thats good...I have 6 4x2x2's ready but was a little concerned they may be too small.....that would have been a disaster..lol

I keep mine in a 5ft x 2ft x 2ft, the bigger is better for the snake, so the biggest you can have go for that.

I wouldn't keep anything bigger than a 6ft boa in a 4x2x2 but that's just me...

i have seen 8ft'ers in a 4x2x2 but as the rule goes for most snakes its a viv half the size of the snake.. i have 9ft female in a 8x2x2 which is far to big and my others in 4x2x2 but my males are all tubbed,

When I got my big boy, RTB, Bcc. I put him in a 5x2x2, but he wouldnt eat, I dont think he felt secure enough. He is now in a 4x2x2, he is 6-7 ft, eats sheds etc and seems happy as. I will only move him back into the big one when I put the lady in with him.
