Seems to work good to increase the cage size with the animal, as it grows, the cage needs to be larger. Of course that is also favorible to larger collections, not having a large cage for every specimen. BRB's don't need any real light, just need a photoperiod where there is difused light (daytime) and darkness (night time)



Racks make sense for multiple smaller animals. There is a heat element either under the tub (belly heat) or at the back of the rack (back heat) Either way the only heat is towards the back. That way the front is cooler and the snake can move around to find a temp it likes.



Typical full grown BRB cage should have about six square feet of floor, give or take. So 2 foot x 3 foot although I house mine in smaller they have 4 square feet of floor space Plus water bowl Plus they get to travel through tubes to other sections.



If I were to recommend one specific setup, based on my experience. Get a Boaphile 322T 3 foot x 2 foot x 18 inches tall and divided into two cages by a removable divider you can take out later.
