Exo terra viv for snake?

[paul112]

Hey,
I'm looking to get another exoterra viv, for my columbian rainbow boa. Has anyone else kept a boa in one of these? They can be strong snakes, I just want to make sure these vivs are up to it.

I've had one of the medium size ones for a few years for my Tokay now, and think it's great, but I just want to see if anyone has any success/failure stories with these type of tanks and 5-6ft boas/pythons?

Thanks,
Paul

I wouldnt recomend a Exo-terra for snakes as they dont hold heat very well and you cant get one big enough for a CRB long term, plus you'll struggle to keep enough humidity in there for the CRB. I keep my CRB in a wooden Viv-exotics vivarium and thats what i'd recomend.

Thanks for the reply, nice to get some response!

Humidy and heat I've controlled in my Tokay exo terra with polystyrene insulation and plate glass covering the mesh.

I figured the height of the Exo Terra would aid the semi-aboreal nature of my CRB. Mine is a 4ft male, fully grown, so I think some of their larger vivs would be suitable?

Thanks for the help,
Paul

Sounds good i believe that they do a model which is 36" long by 36" tall which sounds ideal.
