    Vietnamese Blue Beauty & Other Beauty Snake Tub Enclosure?
    Hello! I'm interested in a variety of beauty snakes, especially the VBB. I was wondering, would a 34 5/8" L x 18 3/4" W x 12 5/8" H work for an adult of any beauty snake species? As of now I have a ton of these enclosures laying around at my house and am looking to find a species of snake to put into them. I don't have any photos now, but I do have perches set up in them as well for some arboreal climbing space as well. Thanks!

    Jk, I'll be getting at least a 5 ft enclosure for these guys, I don't know why I thought the smaller sized one would suffice. Sorry about that!

    You could probably fit an adult Chinese beauty in that size depending on their activity level and size. I have 3 Chinese beauties that would be fine in that size since they aren't active at all and are around 4ft or so. My adult male is my most active/largest at 6ft and he is in a 4x2x3. Generally I find that my Chinese beauty's hide more than I hear about other beauty snakes. My adult female is in a 3x2 and she doesn't do anything but hide...actually when she moves around most of the time she just stays in the hide and moves it around like shes pretending to be a turtle.

    If if you get a Vietnamese blue then there is no way that is big enough these guys get big and active. If it were to get on the larger end of the scale a 6x2x2 would be the minimum I would go with but would most likely put it in the size enclousure I would keep my retics in (6x3 or 8x3x2) but maybe an added foot of height.

    We got a 3' tall, 4' X 2' footprint AP cage for my husband's VBB, with a basking shelf, and built a PVC jungle gym for it. He just shy of a year old, so not full-sized yet, but it looks like it'll work well for him. He definitely likes having lots of things to climb on and artificial greenery to lurk in.
