The housing area I'm moving into has a 4' by 5' linoleum floored closet upstairs in the hallway. Guess what that area will become lol. I totally agree with you, especially since I'm going to be getting at least 1 boa this year, possibly more if I have room and I have a newborn. You seriously cannot be too careful with these animals not to mention not everyone likes snakes and its nice to have a totally separate room for them to live in.
