enclosure size question

You asked this at the right season.

Go to your local walmart and look for these. They are 52 and a half inches long. The biggest tub made, period. They are used for putting fake christmas trees in and are only available at christmas time. They are called Iris VE175 Christmas Tree Boxes.

I recently bought a few myself and they are HUGE.

Correct. If a ball is constantly "exploring" his cage it's not a happy ball python.

However my boas like to hang out in the open on a log. Just hoping some food will come along. ;) Vision cages do require some investment but they work great. Good luck with your BCI.

when i kept boas i only kept is custom cages.

below is 5x2x2

^That is probably the nicest melamine cage/setup I've ever seen. I'd NEVER want to attempt moving it though! Great idea with the pyrex baking dish as a bowl too, those things are HEAVY!

This cage was pretty heavy and i had it on easy gliders so it was easy to move by my self.

agree with jt, the VE's are great and since christmas is over they should hit sale soon. there shy a couple inches of a boaphile well the 209.00 version

I don't think a cage that large is needed for a MALE BCI. 4x2 is fine.
