    Full grown, I wouldn't even deal with a tank, but I rather like the boaphile cages, or animal plastic T-10's.

    x2. They are humidity sensitive and I'm not sure how you would keep it stable in a tank. They also need to be able to stretch out for most of their body length because of the length of their primary lung.

    I'll be using an AP T10 for my borneo once he gets a bit older.

    Same here! Except I already bought the T10, even though it'll be a few years before my breit will need it. It's on sale atm, not sure how long the sale's going to last. I figured, why not?
    (Unless of course I find a snake to put in it within the next few years, which is very likely. )

    But yeah, pretty much I wouldn't keep a full-grown short tail in anything smaller than a 4x2, larger individuals in a 6x2 acrylic cage. Even if you could find a glass tank that big, you won't have any luck keeping the humidity up.
