    4'x2'x2' is a good size and a goos display size as well. if you end up with many snakes, and adult BP could go in something no smaller than 3' x 1.5' x 6"

    I just built a 39"x22"x22". and they love them. They're big enough for adults, with extra height.

    I got it!!
    Basically, as long as there's at least more floorspace than there is length of snake, it's deep enough for reasonable hides, and it's not so tall that it's difficult to keep the temps and humidity right, you should be fine. 3'x2' or 4'x18" or 3.5'x18" with a height of between 6" and 2.5' or any similar measurements should be good. If you know where you'll put it, measure your space and build accordingly.

    Built? Thats funny, cause i was going to post asking for help on building my own housing for some of my critters. Did you design it yourself? I need to build something bigger for my iguana. Looking at like 48" x 36" and a height of 72". Any ideas on the easiest way to attack this.

    Okay thanks for the sizes. I Was thinking of makeing them 3'x2.5'x'2. Do you think that this would be a good size??? Its right about in the middle of all your sizes.

    As long as the 3' isn't the height, that should be fine and dandy!
