    AP cage

    I know I'm getting a rack but, I want at least one BP In a display cage. So what's a good AP cage for a adult and a baby? (I mean one that Is good when I pop In a divider for the baby, and when I take it out its good for the rest of his/her life)

    T3, T5, T8 or T10 should be good for any adult BP and all work well with the divider for younger snakes.

    T8 is usually the choice. T10 if you want the extra 3 inches of height but it's not really worth the extra money. I have a T10 but only bc I found it new in box for less then the cost of a T8. Also the good thing about the divider is you can move it little by little as the snake grows. Also I highly recommend a rhp if you get one, for half a T8 (with divider in) a 40w rhp from reptile basics or pro products is usually enough and for a full T8 (without divider) an 80w from reptile basics is enough. If you want pro products call or email them and they will tell you which one will work best for you.

    I just ordered 2 T10s. One for my BP and one for my sunglow boa. Got my other boa in a Proline 48x24x14 which I will probably upgrade to either a T13 or just wait until she outgrows it and go for a T25. I say go for whatever value you feel is the best as there is no such thing as too much for a snake despite what people might say. There is only too little of hides or cover being offered in the cage. In nature, a snake isn't living in a 2x2 section of land but he does have a lot of cover to use. Same applies for caging. Bottom line is don't waste the cash on a divider. Use the money to order up some good hides like RBI ones or if its a baby, go to Walmart or Target and buy some plastic bowls and flip em and cut a half moon for a door. That's what I did for Dottie when she was a baby. Started with the 2" flower bowl saucers, then went to plastic 8" bowls, then RBI large hides which she still uses at 4'.
