Male Retic Cage Size?

[Nordinho]

I searched the internet for the correct cage sizes for retics, but couldn't find the required size for a male retic as they tend to stay smaller in length and girth than females.

Or is an 8' cage necessary for males too?

an 8 foot cage would be on the small side

An 8' cage could house an adult female

Definitely, sometimes bigger is not always better. For a male retic this size would be more than enough.

Thanks for the info guys.

This is the reason why I asked. A lot of people say different things.

Some people claim to have their adult males in 6' cages, some turn complete rooms of their house into a retic cage.

sorry i should have added in my opinion.
Wouldnt an 8x2 cage only be adequate for up to a ten foot snake?
Of course retics do spend most of their time curled up *sigh* i confuse myself.

For an adult male retic, usually about 12'-14' on average, a 6' x 2' x 18" cage would be perfect.

A rule of thumb is the snake should not be able to wrap completely around its cage, the inside of it.
