Ive Recently made two large boa vivs, each measuring 6ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft. With the off cuts ive managed to knock up a viv measuring 30"L x 30"H x 24"D Well I can't leave it empty, what do you suggest I put in it?
Many Thanks

put a rainbow boa or Indonesian Water Dragon :-D

Neither of those are suitable for that viv size IMO

 

[snakelover]

why not, it aint to big and aint to small.

 

[mosher_88]

Would prefer a snake rather than a lizard, and yeah this would be too small for a BRB I would Think

 

[intravenous]

A male royal python? A smallish rat snake or a corn snake ?

 

[snakelover]

lol BRB arnt the only rainbow boas you now? they are the biggest.

 

[intravenous]

...or a hognose, milksnake or kingsnake? I think all of these stay small enough and aren't too hard to keep?

Well i'm not to sure really, it all depends on what type of snakes you really like, i love my corn snakes i now have 6 only because they don't get to big for me to handle:lol2:

I'd say it is but then perhaps we have species confused? I'm taking about rainbow boas that get up to 7 feet and waterdragons that get to 3 feet as males.

 

[mosher_88]

Sorry I misread I thought you stated a BRB, not the whole species of rainbow boas, What are the smallest?
I would like something that Will use the height from time to time as well or all the time.

 

[Dan]

First question i'd ask is what's your budget? No point me listing animals you can't afford

 

[snakelover]

lol ok
Indonesian Water Dragons or Striped Water Dragons only get to about 18inch inc tail, females smaller, but yeh that might be to small at 30inch length maybe. And the rainbow boa, well you can get loads, as you probably now, and you can get one in there, Guyana, and Argentinan, probably some i dont now so.....maybe some others

look above hope that helps, there the smallest at the bottom of my post..:-D and they do use the hight :-D

 

[mosher_88]

Depending on how nice the reptile is, i suppose about £200

Argantinian Rainbow Boa

You could pick up some amazon trees for that or an irian jaya/papuan carpet.


EDIT: If the pic above is not yours then label it and give credit.

 

[mosher_88]

I am fond of carpet pythons, Would this be big enough for an Irian Jaya. When these vivs are build I hope to build one for a JCP.

 

[Dan]

Yeah, it's be fine, they are much smaller and as they are semi-arboreal they would make great use of the entire viv.

 

[snakelover]

found it on google. and i would say it is to small for a irian jaya carpet python.
