Currently keeping my boa in a home built cage 6'Lx3'Dx2'H and she seems to love it. However, I came into a great deal on a cage from Cages By Design that is simply beautiful but it's more vertically oriented. I think it's 4'L x 2'D x 5'H. It's sitting empty waiting for a JCP to get big enough to live in it. My question - does anyone have any experience putting a Dumeril in this size cage? I know they are a terrestrial species but would she enjoy climbing and exploring vertically if I set it up this way or would she just hang out on the bottom, effectively wasting the dimensions of this enclosure? Thanks.

Mine never move off the bottom of their cage, but I've never tried a cage that height!

I'd just leave the dum in the cage you have it in. The carpet will get much more use out of the cage than the dum.
