See I wondered that as well, but as far as I knew most viper boas are much darker. Something I definitely would love to have one day though, super cool species.

What about a Solomon island ground boa?

You are correct! I don’t want to share the sellers picture without her permission so I’ll try to get some tomorrow. She is so beautiful and it feels like Christmas

Yay! I took a look at some of them, and wow. The color variation on them and how they look is incredible! How big do they get? I’ve really only kept ball pythons, so I don’t know much about other species honestly.

They can have a nice variation. The males average about 3ft and females 4-5ft. I had actually planned on getting a high white one, but then I saw this female from the same breeder and I just couldn’t say no. She is potentially gravid which would be an interesting challenge as I am not experienced with live bearers, but long term I have no plans on breeding this species and she will just be a lovely pet.

I’m one of those. When I have space for a larger enclosure, boas are going to be towards the top of the list.

That’s three confirmed! I think that officially makes @lumpy a trendsetter

You can make space easy. I saw a picture years ago where someone raised their bed up and put cages under their bed with sliding doors on them. If you have a king bed, you will have lots of room for multiple cages. 
I do have a link on my site for free cage prints and cut sheets.

I actually just got a new bed and I’m planning on building a frame where I can put VE racks underneath it, but now I’m going to look into putting cages underneath instead.

0h! I see a new way I can fit at least four more boas in my room lol 
. I think that brings me up to enough room to house 12 to 18 adults in T8s

Not going to lie, you’ve got me looking at Solomon island ground boas now, thinking “how do I convince my wife we need one of these….”
I’m sure she’ll send her thanks lol

@lumpy, you’ve also convinced me that I need a boa in my life. Still planning to get one as soon as I can bring the new crazy cats under control.

Can boas live in T8’s for their whole life? Or does it depend on the sex and/or individual? Now I’m starting to think…

Most morph boas are going to be fine in them. If you overfeed them, they will get too big. Females might need a bigger enclosure if you aren’t breeding. Most breeders are able to be kept in T8s and large and old females get like T10s. But males without a doubt they will be great in there.

Okay, I am starting to seriously consider boas now. That’s a smaller enclosure size than what I thought and it only costs $200-300 for a setup. They do fall towards the bottom of the list in terms of what I’m buying, and it will be at least a couple years before I can get them. But, getting them is starting to be a realistic possibility now.
