It would be even better if it were 3 feet wide instead of 2. Because then it could house an adult it's entire life. With that cage you have 4 square feet of surface area, some may say it is good enough for a 4 foot bp, try and get 3 wide. Unless it is only temporary and the bp will be moved up to a bigger cage.
