How much does it cost for morphs or ormals at reptile shows!!how big of an enclosure do they need.
 
i assume you mean boa constrictor or something of such nature. a snake needs half the perimeter of a tank as he is long. if he is 8 feet, one side and front need to equal 8 feet. two foot wide six long is okay. 2.5 by 5.5 feet is normal ideally the bigger the better, but if you plan to build a enclosure, build it extremely strong and think of every possible escape point. reinforce them. desighn it first on a napkin, then notebook paper, then graphing paper, and double the strength of the enclosure each time. they are escape artist. good luck

This is true for non arboreals......

There is no such rule of thumb, I believe, for arboreals.
 
snakes are sick get one invest in some heating equipment. i just got a ball python such a sick pet. built him an expansion tested it last night... he escaped twice!! lol the expansion is a meshed wire and wood thing that sits ontop of the aquarium. but yeah they can easily escape. i thinks my problem is to big of gaps in the mesh
 
kenyans are awesome have one myslelf the price that uting listed is correct i got mine for 40 bucks at a reptile expo
 
I have an anerythristic kenyan sand boa. The orange is replaced with white, so I have a black and white sand boa. Looks like a white snake with black splotches. Almost like a cow, hence it's name "Moo".

Bought it from Jasons Jungle for $80. great snake, small, slow, just right for my 5 yr old daughter who loves snakes.
