I'm trying to decide between a 48x24x12 or 48x24x18 cage for a male Hog I plan to get in the near future. As you can see the only difference is the height - but being new to Hogs I don't know if he'd make use of the height or would it be 'wasted'? I just don't know how much of a difference the 6 inches will be. Of course it matters space and money wise - but that's not the reason I'm asking. But obiviously if I go with the lower cage I'll be able to stack more cages than if I went with the 18inch high cage. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Need help w/ cage size for Hog Island Boa....
i dont think the taller cage is necesary, they ae more "to the ground" snakes, although, they might want to go in a branch or something, so you might want to try to find something that isnt too tall, but a lil off the ground
congrats on getting a hogg soon. beautiful animals

HIs are a bit more "arboreal" than other BCIs probably because they are lighter bodied and shorter. My cages are 4x2x2 and have branches and/or "jungle gyms" that the snakes use quite frequently. With that being said... It really is up to you what you get. I dont think that the snake would really care either way. If you are planning on a large collection and space is a real concern then the 12" tall would be the way to go. If you have the room to spare an 18" or 24" tall would be great.
Look, sometimes bad things happen, and there is nothing you can do about it, so why worry?

Do you have any pics of your HIs cage?

Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.
