Big Enough?

Is this size terrarium large enough for an adult Boa?

72x18x25

I found that at glasscages.com for only $135 and I can pick it up in Detroit on Dec. 3 to avoid large shipping costs.

Well having replied to this thread already somewhere else, I guess I can always comment again, the length and height sound alright, but the width just seems a little bit small for a decent size adult boa.

I agree. for a snake that can "potentially" reach 15 feet 25" is a bit narrow. I have a ten footer and keep mine in one that I made and is 8ft long x 4ft wide x 3ft tall. Could be a bit smaller, but is perfect for when I find a big male to put in there with her.

Holy Smokes, GAsnakeman! What kind of boa do YOU have!? I never heard of a 15-25 foot Boa before!

LOL @ Jem! The 25" is part of the dimensions of the terrarium!
But thats OK. Thats the way I originally read it too.

And based on the way dimensions are usually written The base would be 18" and the height 25".
A bit narrow for an adult Boa.

78x18x25 sounds like a great fish tank though, oh the possibilities
