Hi, with this species of rainbow boa being smaller, what do you think the enclosure size for an adult female should be?

Many thanks, kay.

If it's a deal, I'd go for it. As you said, worst case it's a temporary home which she moves out of. Giving you, of course, an empty cage, and therefore a perfectly valid reason to add another snake. ;-)

Well Ive only ever seen a male adult assisi and he was considerably smaller than my Brazilian. The guy had him in a 2ft x 2ft. Its only than Ive been offered a very cheap 2x2ft pennine viv (perfect for humidity requirements) and wondered whether it would be suitable. She is tiny at the mo, only an 09, but even if she ends up being too big for it I could upgrade at a later date. It might do her for a couple years? What do you think? Thanks for the replies so far. So does anyone else on here keep caatingas?

Smaller than that. Most of the experts recommend a two foot by three foot enclosure for *Brazilian* adults, which are one of (if not *the*) largest rainbows. I am not familiar with the adult size for an E. c. assisi, however, so really cannot help you on this point. Huge apologies....

I think for an adult female the enclosure should be 4ft x 2ft.
