Adult Enclosure size.

My 3 month 200 gram female is in a 24x18 Exo Terra. So I’ll say no.

I was always told that you want to go with a size that the snake can fully stretch out in comfortably. Or just slightly bigger. Whatever type of enclosure you use, you definitely want the animal to be able to stretch out and be able to fit all the hides/water dish.

Thanks. I agree with everyone on the size. Just curious now as to we all say it isn't big enough, but why do breeders feel it is fine to use the tubs and rack system.

Because technically they don't really stretch out or really need it. Most of the time they're curled up in their hides.

So than you would say the size I listed would be appropriate for an adult BP?

I am in noway saying which is right and which is wrong, I am just looking for opinions.

I can't speak for all breeders, but all the ones I've heard a stated size use the CB70 or equivalent size for adults which is something like 33"×16". Your height is fine, but you're nearly a foot shorter than the length they use and slightly narrower to boot. Your dimensions just aren't comparable to adult BP racks that I know of. Closer to juvenile size tubs I would guess.

When talking tubs, height is irrelevant, so I left that off, and it really doesn't make up for lack of floor space for a BP.

That I understand. But I have seen people post on here that a 32qt tub is fine for up to 2000 grams. A 32 qt tub is 23-5/8 x 16-3/8 x 6-1/2 inches.

Yeah I totally disagree with those people. A 32 quart is for juveniles, I personally don’t want my snake in a tiny box 24/7

The length plus the width should be equal to or greater than the length of the snake. For example: my enclosure is 36x18 which equals 54”. So that enclosure will comfortably House a BP up to 54”. :)
