Adult beauty snake cage dimensions?

eponymous Jun 12, 2008 09:04 AM

Hey guys

My Taiwan beauty is a little over 5 feet and I think it's time to build his last enclosure, one that will last until he's an 8 foot monster.

What should the dimensions be? I was thinking 48" wide x 30" tall x 24" deep, but if I shorten to 24" tall I can save a lot of trouble and a little money. Is that too short? Too anything?

What do you guys think?

I know there are people that keep em in squat boid-style cages, but he spends mornings and evenings up in his tree so I want to give him some height. I know other people keep them in 6 foot tall monstrosities and I don't really have the room or think he needs it.

I think a 48 by 24 by 24 would be a good size cage. They definatly like to climb but the taiwans don't seem to be as arboreal as some of the other beauty snakes when they get big.
