I was recently given a 6ft long red-tailed boa that came to me housed in a cage that is obviously too small for him.

I've never had a red-tailed boa before, or any snake of his size for that matter, so I'm not sure how to choose a more appropriate cage for him.

Should I find something with a lot of height, or would a shorter cage with more floor space be a better choice? Is he the type of snake that would choose to hang out in the tree branches in a tall cage, or would height be a waste of space as he would spend more time down closer to or on the ground?

Thanks!
