Does anyone house their adults in Rubbermaid tubs or is a large cage nessesary?

I'm thinking of getting a BRB and was wondering how large of an enclosure does one require once they are full grown?

JDalbo,
...Some fullgrown female BRBs are over 7 feet long. This is way too large for a rubbermaid tray. I keep most of my adults that are less than 6.25 feet long in 36 inch Vision cages. That size cage is not quite big enough for my largest adults and they are kept in 48 inch melamine box style cages. BRBs can be kept in a large Rubbermaid tray until they are about 5 feet long. Many BRBs reach that size in the first 2 years.
Good luck,
Jeff
