PVC cage size?

[RedRabbit]

Always a pleasure to see you boas, RedRabbit. That's a nice group you've got there.

4' long may cut it for your guys, but going a little longer wouldn't hurt if you can. Height depends on your boas. If they like to perch, I would make sure they have a little extra height. 2' should do in that case, at least to start.

For comparison: my boas will reach roughly the same size as yours (5-6'), and I'm leaning on the side of giving them extra room. The longicauda will be getting a 6'x2'x4' eventually -- he's highly arboreal and uses the space of his cage throughout the year, so he'll get plenty of room to roam and height to perch. The Sonoran is shaping up to be on the larger end of her locality's size distribution (I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she exceeds 5' eventually), and since she will use the full space of her cage in a day, I'm planning to upgrade her to a 6' cage in the future.

On top of AP, other PVC cage makers I know include Kages (my 4'x2'x2' is from them), MP Cages & Exotics, Zen Habitats, Scale-Box, and Maximum Reptile. TerraOrb and Focus Cubed are worth a look as well, for some non-traditional options.

Thank you, WrongPython. You make a good point, as my boas do like to perch; I have magnetic ledges in my current boa tubs, and I see them climbing on the ledges (and occasionally coiling up and taking a nap on them) fairly often. From your advice and everyone else's, I'm definitely leaning more and more towards 18" height at least. 24" might also be doable, though at that point with a stack of 3 (plus factoring in additional height from any base and/or coaster wheels I put the cages on), working with the top cage might become a bit of a stretch. Thank you also for the suggestions for other PVC cage makers, I'll definitely be looking into them to see what they have to offer.
