when our bosc is an adult could he go in a 5x2x2ft viv?
what would you say is the minimum size?

Tom

say yes, but it just depends on how big he gets to be honest..
i know people who have kept them in that size, but they allow the bosc, or there bigger lizards a good roam around the house to get exercise.

yeah we are gona let him roam when were there which is all the time lol
someone on the dreaded forum said 8x3x3 minimum!!!

Khanidge

A little excessive, but unlike most snakes they need more depth to the viv so a 5'L x 2.5'/3'D x 2'H should see him/her through the most of there life.

As Tom said let him/her get some exercise by letting them out for a stroll.

The Boscs dont generally get as big as the White throut (sp), Who can get Massive that will need a room viv as an adult.

we are going with the 5 by 3 by 2 would go bigger but only prob is it wont go through front door lol
he will have free roam aswell when we are here so not exactly like he wont have ne room :)

ya most time he will have whole liveing room 2 him self and go in and out his viv as he pleases. anyone no can they be toilet trained dont want him 2 crap on my bed lol

To be honest bigger the better! Mines around 18months old and I'm just moving up to a 5ft viv... He spent his life in a 4ft viv, but the rate he's growing I'm not sure a 5ft viv will do him the rest of his life. Mine seems a bit fed up in a small viv not enough places for him to investigate and dig! Also have quite a tall viv so u can get atleast 4inches of substrate as they like to burrow.
It's all fair and well saying that they will have free roam (well atleast be able to take my eyes of him for more than 10seconds! Lol!)but he will still need to be a fairly large size before I would let him do that They have a nack of squeezing in small spaces, also depends how well they tame down. So prepare for a large viv!
You can toilet train them it works quite well! Youl find he will poo in the same places, when he does put a bit of kitchen roll where he poos and he will associate this as his toilet then he should poo where ever the tissue is.
Mine has learnt to either poo in a white tray outside the viv or in the bath, he will never go in his viv.
Good luck!

well his pretty much hatchlin size at the moment in a 3x2 so if he gets 2 big for the 5x3x2 could get a new one i spose only problem is one of the dimensions has got 2 be 2 other wise it aint getting in my front door ! lol i think he will be fine in it though. i never really seen a full size adult before so cant tell...

mika

Yeah I know your problem that's why I'm gonna go for the flat pack option lol! Il be stuffed if i have to move wnt b able to get it out the door! Lol!
But the viv sounds a good size! Youl be a long way off before he's to big for the 5x3x2 if he grows that big!! Yeah don't see many fully grown adults there must be some out there! The only 2 adults I've seen one was huge and the other average sorta size!
Hope mine will grow huge!! Bigger the better lol!!
