    Enclosure size for adult BRB
    I have a 4yo female BRB. I've had her 2.5 years. She came with a custom enclosure. I'm worried she might be out growing it. She is roughly 4 and a half feet, 1600grams. Her enclosure is 3 and a half feet long, 2 feet deep, 3 feet tall. She never climbs, stay on the substrate all the time. Is there a suggested size of enclosure for these guys?
    Thank you!

    I just got my BRB a 4x2x15" AP T10 with a shelf that should be more than fine for her lifetime enclosure

    I have my female BRB in an Animal Plastics 4'x2'x15" cage with a basking shelf. She also never climbs, so doesn't really use the shelf. I have heat tape, sliding glass doors with a lock, and recessed LED lighting on my cage and am happy with it.

    I would think a 4'x2' footprint cage would be large enough...If you wanted extra room, AP has a 4'x30" footprint cage on sale right now. I would not go shorter than 15" as they can be hard to reach into the back corners and clean.

    I use a peat moss/fir wood mixture for substrate. Her humidity is around 75-85%

    Are you asking because "she never climbs"?

    Na some climb some don't ...

    I had branches in my vivs and they used them but at crazy times like 3am or so .. I don't sleep well :)


    I had a thick , lush layer of rooted moss over the surface and they stayed under the moss during the day and explored above the surface late evening.
