So I'm getting a boa, most likely a red tail boa, and I'm building my own enclosure for it. Basically all I need to know are the ideal dimensions of a cage for an 8 foot snake. All my google research has gotten me extremely varied answers.

I don't know if i'm getting a baby or an adult or what, so I'm pretty much gonna make something it can live in its entire life. Of course, if its a baby i'll close off some of the enclosure so its not overwhelmed with space.

thanks
