I'm seriously considering making a display wall of cages for my BP's. First off, because I know if I don't say it someone will, I realize BP's are not display animals, that i'll never see them, etc. I also realize it may be more difficult to maintain humidity and temps than it is in the rack they are in now. I'm willing to take the extra effort.

What I'm really wondering is size, strictly from a material efficiency standpoint. With the materials I'm using, it would be MUCH more cost effective to do 4 foot long cages divided in half than to do 5 or 6 foot cages divided the same. So my question is this:

Is 20"x24" (floor space) too small for an adult ball python? If you could have any size cage for your BP's, would it be much bigger than 20x24? My other, less cost effective option is 20"x36".

Money really isn't a huge issue, but if the smaller size would be more comfortable anyways, why waste time, money, and materials building it bigger, right? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
