Boa Enclosure Question

I am wondering what other breeders are using for boa enclosures. Anyone using a rack system? If so, what size(s) are you using? Thanks

I generally use 4'x2' for my adult females. I use cb70 racks for my males and raise ups. I do have a couple 4'x30" ap's for larger adult females(9-10ft). I run heat tape and herpstat nds/pro's. Good luck.

I use 4x2 cages for my adult females, and I have some smaller species (ie BCL) in 3x2s.
I do have a Vision boa rack - which offers a 3x2 floor area. It's functional, and I've kept 6 ft females, and 7ft carpets in it.
Other than that, I use 41qt AP racks for my growers and young adult males. (Hope to be adding an ARS 8018...but I may have AP make me something to hold CB75 tubs)

I custom built this rack system for my adult females. The upper cages are for my females and right now I keep my smaller females or males in my other rack system or in the smaller 2 cages on the bottom of this rack. Larger cages up top are 5 x 2 x 1 and smaller cages on bottom are 2 1/2 x 2 x 1.

Thanks Jeffrey. It actually wasn't that hard. I got about 25 hours into it, cost of materials was about $250 for everything, including heat tape etc. I would consider myself just about a rookie when it comes to wood buidling, I'm not real precise just yet.

I am in the same boat on skills. Ive learned cage building takes skill, but the tools your working with help the outcome. I like home depot, buy a 4x8 sheet and get 6 free cuts!

Here is the first "rack" system I built. I sold it for $500 to fund the latest cage I built.

Nice! That's not a "rack system" its an "entertainment center"! Who ever bought it got a great deal at $500 imo.
