custom cage info..

[dmaricle]

ok i have a normal male that i have had for about 7 years and i want to build him a custom home in out kitchen and get him out of the rack, he is not a breeder and he is the reason i got into this hobby.

ok the little nook i want to build his enclosure in is where a microwave sits now soon to be gone. the area is 20" deep x 26" wide x 17" high is this a large enough enclose for a 1200 g ball?

[dmaricle]

are these measurments large enough?

Sounds to me like it's too high and not long enough. For an adult ball, I wouldn't go any smaller than 36"L and no BP enclosure should be taller than 14" since they don't really need height and height just makes it harder to regulate temps.

That's my opinion, having had adult BPs in really small enclosures - there's no room for both hides unless you have them 'door to door', let alone for the water and movement.

thats what i figured i have just never built an enclosure so i wanted someone elses input. i guess i need to find another spot to build it.

how big is he?

From my cage I learnt less height is good. You'll def need more length to him. I like to make my cages big enough for the snake to lie out straight.
