living dimensions

skid Jul 16, 2009 01:05 PM

For my soon to be large female dumerils boa, I am going to begin constructing her final enclosure. As for the dimensions i was planning on 4ft wide 3ft deep and about 15" high. Let me know if i should go bigger or if that is satisfactory, thank you!

Sounds good to me. I keep my main breeder trio in a 4ft x 3ft x 16in enclosure. And there is still plenty of room for them.

You may end up with less waste if you make it 24" wide instead of 36".
2'x6' might be better for getting the most out of the building material and it would be easier to reach to the back of the cage with it being 2ft instead of 3
