    1/4' smaller.

    I have used the ve 175's for boas...I like the tubs that tend to be more on the square side because they are much easier to hold a gradient in if you have to keep your herps in a cold house.

    I'm sure you would be fine with 3ft especially if they are males. Many people house aduly bp's in 32-41qt tubs. They are about the same length you are talking about.

    I think he meant Burmese, but 3 feet long is bigger than what some people keep their snakes in. A large female might be a little cramped, but for males that would be fine. A blood I would think needs a bigger cage than that? Maybe just play it safe and go 4 foot wide.

    Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

    Measurements sound good. It's just a bit bigger than mine (30"x14" and 14" high). Our snake is barely a yearling, if that so he's got plenty of space. When he gets older, and bigger, I'll just build a newer bigger cage. I learnt so much building my first one.

    Awesome, it'll be cool to see someone elses work. I'm making plans for a new cage for the next snake that I'm gonna aqquire this weekend. I'm thinking the floor space will be the same dimensions, but itll only be 12" high and sit on top of the last one I built.
    Snake needs to be purchased and settle in to a tank first while i aqquire materials for the tank.

    Re: 3 feet is it long enough?

    Nice. BP's are addicting.. My new setup will include 3 cages and some shelf areas for my cresties and my spotted gecko. I will have use of some great table saws this weekend and make all the cuts and build at home. I kinda miss working in a wood shop. Do you have any kind of lighting in your new setup? for viewing or heat?



    Cheers

    Yeah. For viewing, not heat.

    I had a couple 12v LED strips in a cool blue, so I wired them up to a switch and transformer and now, on command, I can cast a cool blue azure across the cage.

    Unfortunately I can't get a camera to show what the eye can see, but once I do I'll put up some pics.
