My husband and I are in the (slow) process of building custom caging for our collection so that they are all stacked, organized, and pretty, instead of seeing shelves of mismatched tank and tub sizes scattered all over the room, lol.

A majority of the snake tanks (for the medium snakes, rainbows, womas, male blood, etc...) are going to be 2X4X2, and the smaller ones (foxes) will likely be 2X2X2.

I want to make sure that they all have plenty of stretching room, but I can't see giving the male ball the same sized cage as a female rainbow boa... Would a male do alright in a 2X2X2 enclosure, or is that going to be awkward for maintaining a temp gradient? Would he be more comfortable in a longer but narrower cage? He's currently close to outgrowing his 20 long.
