I have a young jungle jag male and due to an unexpected Christmas gift, I might be able to go ahead and buy him his final adult-size cage earlier than expected. According to his breeder, his mother is 75% iJ jag and his father was a 25% diamond zebra.

I'd like to know what size of caging you keep your adult carpets in and whether a shorter (lenghtwise) and taller cage is better than a longer cage that is not as tall. My boas will all be housed in T10s with shelves in them (4'x2'x 14" tall) but I'd like a taller cage for the carpet so he can perch more easily... That said, I don't know if my spouse would be ok with spending the amount of $$ it would take to get a 4'x2'x2'... So I'm considering a 3' x 2' x 18" or 2', but am unsure if that is enough space and also unsure if a 3' AP cage will easily stack on top of a 4' cage.

I'd greatly appreciate input from anyone housing adult carpets.
Thanks for your time and help!
