Has anyone ever used or considered using a taller than necessary viv and putting a shelf about halfway up to increase "floor space"? Like say you have an adult dumerils boa and a 3x2x2 viv, and you build a shelf that's 3x2 with a 1 foot square cut out for access. Would that be considered acceptable space for the snake(11 square feet including shelf) or would the shelf not matter because the cage dosent have actual length To it?
Not planning on doing this, just curious.
