rosy boa max size?

mine has only nipped me once, but that may be because i never hold him. if i did, he'd be gone in a few seconds! cleaning the tank is tricky, and he actively looks or escape opportunities. i manage it by using a small rubbermaid container and trap him on the wall, then slide the lid (with holes in the top) on and press it in place. i then set him down on a desk out of the sun and clean the tank. when I'm done i just put the rubbermaid in, open it, and wait until he is sleeping on the underside of a branch, then i remove the rubbermaid. I've had him for about two years in a ten gallon with a wire/mesh extension on the top. in the summer i dont use any heating, as the tank is upstairs and we live in Texas. in the winter, i use a zoo med 25 watt basking lamp, so the tank is kept at about 75-83 degrees (changes during night/day in summer) if you would like to know, i co-habit him with 2 anoles, a green one and one that we caught, we don't know for sure what kind it is... draco (the gecko) is about 7-8 inches, the ga is 3 inches, and the ?a is 4 inches. no behavioral problems yet, not even the anoles.

what's wrong with the co hab? I've been doing it for about a year and a half and they have never fought each other. they just ignore each other.

the snake is in a 40 gallon (3'x18"x17") by herself, and there is a heat gradient for her, though during the summer it's usually off. the gecko and anoles are in a 10 gallon, but with the extension it contains 20 gallons of space. they really seem to like the extension, they climb on that, and seem to dislike the glass. there used to be a second flying gecko, a female, and i actually bred them. unfortunately the 2 eggs never hatched, i don't know why. then the female died (we assume from stress) about a week after she laid the eggs.

the smaller anole actually escaped earlier (he found a place in a corner where one of the bars had broken, creating a 1/2 inc hole,s opposed to a 1/4 inch gap, and he somehow slipped through. i caught him though, and he has a 2'x2'x6" rubbermaid to himself. (lucky b*stard)
