You should only need to clean the whole thing out about once a month or so. Spot clean the bedding whenever they defecate. The ones that look the best and help hold some humidity are Zoo Med repti bark, Zilla jungle mix, Zoo Med eco earth, and Zoo Med forest floor. You can use many types of bedding for your Guyana boa. We do not recommend low rack systems for boas as they like to climb and explore. A 6’ x 3' is a good basic size, though, many people have gone larger and have gotten quite creative with their enclosures. For an adult boa, you will want a custom enclosure or one of the large 6+ foot molded plastic reptile cages. A shy boa baby will feel more secure if there is a hide for them on the cool side and the warm side of the enclosure (more about that in the heating section). If you use a glass tank, you will want to provide a humid hide-that is a hide that has some damp moss in it for extra humidity. For yearlings, step up to an enclosure that is at least 30" x 12" inches (like Zilla critter cage 20 Long) or go bigger like a 36" x 18" (Exo Terra Large, or Zilla 40 gal). There are several kinds that work well for Guyanas, e.g., glass aquariums and any of the commercially available plastic-type reptile cages. At around a year old, you can increase the size of the enclosure. You can start babies in cages as small as 10 gallons. So they will like some height to their enclosure. In the wild, they live on the ground but also in trees. ![]()
