Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi Folks,
This is my first time posting here in the pit forum. I've been enjoying reading the posts and checking out the photos. Some great looking pits around.

I have a black pine that is a little over 2' 8" long right now. She is in a 30 gal long tank right now, which is 3 feet long and
1 foot wide.

I'm hoping to get a male soon and I'd need to build a tank for him. I'm thinking about building something that is kind of like a bookshelf type of thing. Two enclosures, one on top of the other. Keeping each pine in one of the enclosures.

I'm thinking about building it about 4 feet long, 18 to 20 inches wide and 18 to 20 inches tall (each enclosure). How does this sound for a pine? Would this still be too small for an adult?
If you think that something like this is too small, what size enclosures are ok for an adult?

Thanks for any help offered,
Rob

4x2 would be OK for an adult black pine. They do not need a lot of height, but if what you are building is for display then 20" or so will be fine for you to see them.
best of luck,

4'x20"x20" would be ok but if your gonna build something why not go bigger? My black pines are in 50"x30"x18" visions and use every inch of there enclosure but I always seem to give my snakes more room than "needed"

I'm not sure when I'll start working on it. I'm hoping it will be soon though.
Thanks again,
Rob
