how big is the cage and how big cage will you need for a full grown tree boa.what snake can live they hole life in this cage its 60cm tall by 45cm by 45cm

I dont know the exact measurments, but I thinks its Exo Tera's largest enclosure, its about 60x60x100 if I am not mistaken and I am Hoping that he can live in this enclosure forever its pretty big, if not I will have to Build a larger one

Nick your biggest problem will be ensuring the cage does not dry out or get too hot. Anything over 26 is a problem. Luckily you can "water" him every day and not worry about the cage falling apart. They prefer "rain" to fine mist in any case.

I would put more and thicker branches in the cage too. Use holders and put a broomstick in the cage near the top and another about 20 cm lower down.

The dimensions you gave should be adequate for this snake.

Thanks BV any advice you can give me will be much appreciated. This is one snake I have always dreamt about owning but have had no experience with such a delicate snake, and will do anything to keep him happy and hopefully alive. I have been disinfecting and heating a nice branch I found at the MX track. I am just so scared it has mites or something, but I do have a thicker perch for him and will be adding it into the enclosure as soon as I am happy with it. I am also taking him to the vet to get swobed to check for any thing that could be wrong, and I am also scared it has a respiritory problem because he does sometimes lay with his mouth open. I spray the enclosure as often as possible and have a mister in the enclosure to keep the humidity up. Is this ok? Thanks for the advise I really need it with this guy

All I can say is what a snake, certainly on my wish list soon. What I love about these more than the green tree pythons is that white patterning on the back. Yours is such a nice light coloured snake. I wish you good luck with him. Soon one will be mine

Well I have a friend with a female that is doing exceptionaly well, so hopefully in the near future we will attempt to breed these magnificent creatures.
