Good now that I have gotten your attention I have a question about housing a ATB or a ETB. I have posted this same ? three times and no has anwaered it. So here it is. Is an enclosure measuring 6ft. high by 3ft. long by 2ft. wide a good sized terrarium for one of these snakes. Please respond.

That is a Huge Encloser, it would be fine for a well acclimated Arboreal Snake, you can put a Tree in there, plant's perch's it would look nice, if you have the room, go for it ! The main thing is that it hold's Humidity and Temp's Good ! But dont put a young snake in a Cage that size ! Take Care !
Have A Good One !

As Kenneth said, that would be fine, but be sure the animal(s) you are putting in there are very well established, long-term captives. An enclosure that size could cause alot of stress on an animal that is not feeding well or very shy to begin with. The other problem I can see would be maintaining proper temps and humidity, especially if you live in a colder climate. A radiant heat panel with a good thermostat mounted vertically along the back wall would probably be the best bet to maintain a good thermal gradient. Humidity could be a whole separate issue in an enclosure that big, but probably nothing an automatic misting system couldn't fix. But with all that said, I think if planned out and executed properly with the right snake(s), it would be a KICK ASS display! Let us know what you decide. Billy
