>>I was thinking since they were Easterns and Floridas that five feet would give them all the stretch room they would ever need.



I've kept both forms and they do get quite big for a kingsnake. I certainly won't discourage you from building the cage to the dimensions you want. But I will say that a 2'x4' cage is still huge for even the largest specimens. It certainly would make building easier.



>>As for as depth and height, I was thinking 2.5' by 18" high.



With six levels and each at 18", that means 96" tall. Add some casters, etc., and the cage is even taller.



When building such a display I always encourage people to keep the total height to about 78" with the casters so they will fit under doorways.



Gotta run right now...
