    Correction: A 6'x4' terrestrial cage will not be necessary. They don't get to be the size of a Retic. A 4'x2' is probably the largest you would ever need.

    From what I have read, a 4x2 or 6x2 are both acceptable for a full grown adult (6x2 for large females)

    I put her in a 41 quart tub for the time being, but I'm looking into getting one of those christmas tree tubs. I don't see why those tubs couldn't be great permanent enclosures, since they are 4x2.

    You're right. That size tub makes a great forever home.

    Tubs vs. cages is all preference. Since I don't have a snake room or a large collection I prefer PVC cages. Proper husbandry is what it all comes down to.

    Congrats on your new pick up.
