    My smaller boas are in tubs on a rack/shelf setup. I'm not sure of the measurement. Maybe like under 2ft by 1ft approximately.

    Agreed, 2x1 will be just fine.
    My babies start in a shoe box rack then they get moved up to sweater box rack (32 qt about 24x18x6) then to the 4x2 cage/racks.

    If you got the cash now, you can put him into a 4x2 now. I put Rosey in her Proline when she was about 16" and she was fine. If you don't have the cage yet, you can use a tub or 40g breeder.

    It is often said that snakes will not feel safe/secure in large cages. I have heard that if you put a snake in a big cage, fill it with many things including several hides to help it feel more secure in an open area.

    If you don't have the money for a big cage now, I would get a tub from Walmart or similar store and drill holes in the lid for ventilation. That's what I do. Like 7 bucks for a tub. Can't beat that. Then just use an under tank heater for heat. And keep it in a warm room.

    I like animal plastics cages.

    Haha! :D

    I actually tried to pull the shed out, but he was laying on it. I would have had to move him to get it, then I would have lost the gangsta pose. It was a big wad next to him. I pulled and it stretched and tore.
