    Re: enclosure size question

    You asked this at the right season.

    Go to your local walmart and look for these. They are 52 and a half inches long. The biggest tub made, period. They are used for putting fake christmas trees in and are only available at christmas time. They are called Iris VE175 Christmas Tree Boxes.

    I recently bought a few myself and they are HUGE.

    Correct. If a ball is constantly "exploring" his cage it's not a happy ball python.

    However my boas like to hang out in the open on a log. Just hoping some food will come along. Vision cages do require some investment but they work great. Good luck with your BCI.

    ^That is probably the nicest melamine cage/setup I've ever seen. I'd NEVER want to attempt moving it though! Great idea with the pyrex baking dish as a bowl too, those things are HEAVY!

    I don't think a cage that large is needed for a MALE BCI. 4x2 is fine.
