Housing a pair of red tailed boas

Hiya guys, I'm just after a bit of advice please. I'm taking on a pair of red tailed boas hopefully a male and female. I know they grow up 10ft but was wondering what size vivarium could hold them when adult? I know this is a bit early to ask but i just want to be prepared.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Ben

Re: Housing a pair of red tailed boas

Umm are you talking about housing them together? If so I think a very large enclosure is only possible. That being said, snakes shouldn't be housed together except when they are to be bred together, and even then it's a relatively short period of time.

For caging as adults, I would suggest 6'x4'x'2.

If you want to do it. You can, I can't stop you. But those are the warnings.

They shouldn't if they are male and female. Although the male may try to breed with the female well before she's ready. Which either she'll just not allow it (can stress her out though) OR if they DO breed before she's large enough, she may have complications.
