Boscs can get up to 4ft, and have a short tail compared to most monitors.

So I'd say at least 3ft deep, and 6/7 foot long.

This is minimum though, if you can provide bigger, why not eh? Smile

Basic rule of thumb is the length should be AT LEAST twice the length of the animal and the width should be AT LEAST the length of the animal.

So in your case an adult bosc will be around 4' so and 8x4x4 would be good but bigger is always better! I'm converting my garage for my BT and his enclosure is going to be 12x6x6.
