I realize most everyone here is a breeder and probably uses racks but if you had a pet, what enclosure would you use?..
What size cage would be big enough for comfort without alot of unused space? Also what do you think of a double decker style cage say 4ft tall with two stories using a branch for a ladder?(would this even be used?)
BTW she is about 4ft 10 and right now at 18mnths

4x2 cages work well and for the large boas a 6 foot cage can be used. I have used 2 story cages for adults in the past and they will climb to the second story but as they get bigger a fall can break ribs and they will fall too. I used the second story for the basking area and it worked well.

Even if she gets 7 or 8ft?

I use 42", 48", and 60" cages for my boas and I really like the 60" cage that is 18" deep and 16" tall with two front doors. With the 48" cage, I have some that are 18" and 24" deep, when you have a 7' female and then add a 6' male during breeding season they don't have as much room to move away from the heat source as they do in the 60". But to answer your question about the 4X2 vision. Yes, it will meet her needs.
