What kind of snake?

Sorry mis read the mesurements thought it was 48,40,28, anything longer then a large male corn is probably to big for the size you said, so 6ft is the absolute biggest snake i would put in with 5ft max being prefered.

That comment was in reference to the "months of research".

I knew that. I was just poking fun. :poke:

He's also posted a question over at Fauna if this cage would be big enough for a boa.

I have been looking into frilled dragons and amazon tree boas. Any opinions?

Amazon tree boas are arboreal and would need somewhere to climb and perch.
 
amazon tree boas get up to 6 1/2 feet. They don't get very big in girth at all. Adults will eat small to medium rats. Remember this cage is almost 30" tall which Im guessing is way more than big enough. I read somewhere that they need a 36" by 24" by 24" (LxWxH) cage for an adult pair.
 
That cage would not be sufficient for an adult Frilled Lizard...They needs lots of room to run...

They love to climb and are highly active lizards. They appear to feel more secure when given an arboreal arranged aquarium or custom made wire cage. A 6 feet height (180 cm), 3 feet wide (90 cm), and 4 (120 cm) feet long cage is ideal for a single dragon.
 
unless you're in the amazon, i dont think you could keep the humidity high enough in a screened cage for an Amie Boa. No experience in frilled dragons, but i'd say that the snake you need to look into would fall somewhere in the medium sized colubrid range rather than boids.
 
for any arboral reptile, you need way more height then length. Anything else will stress it too much. that size would not work for arboral reptiles. If you're looking into bp, I have a few that I'll sell you :) Amazons are ok I guess, but you need to read into the husbandry and care of them extensively. They have high care requirements with lighting, heating, and humidity, and can sometimes be very hard to care for. I wanted one also until I the troubles my friend had trying to care for his, and he is an advanced reptile shop owner. I changed my mind. It would still be awesome to have one, but I don't want a reptile that I can't provide the absolute BEST care for. It not fair to the animal. And with how many herps I do have already, I wouldn't be able to take on something like that and still maintain everyone in the best environment possible. I have the desire, but not the time or resources.

Old saying "Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Research comes in handy, but it doesn't hold a candle to actual experience
 
How about..

...we keep this forum for discussions about cornsnakes? There are plenty of places on the net to ask about boas, pythons, etc, this is a place for corn people to talk about corn things...Just my 2 cents
 
That may be true, dear...but this is a cornsnake site. I'm pretty sure Rich wants it to remain a cornsnake site. www.faunaclassifieds.com (also owned by Rich) has forums for other types of reptiles. You can also look all this information up yourself by going to www.google.com and typing in "amazon tree boa caresheet" or whatever you're looking up.
 
Regardless of if you get 'good' replies here, it reflects on your character when you don't respect the rules of the website. Its also a matter of practicality, if you start posting threads about boas, pythons, etc.. Then you get others who will think its ok to do the same, and eventually the "CornSnakes.com Forums" become an unreliable source of good info for us corn snake owners who would like to discuss our issues.

I'm not harping on you, just be more considerate. ;)
