The enclosure is not 1' wide. LxWxH= 24" x 24"x 10". If multiply the LxW you are looking at 576 square inches for the floor space in the boaphile.
A 41 qt tub is 34 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 5 5/8". There for the floor space in a 41qt tub is 569.25 square inches.
The boaphile has more actual floor space. I'm just wondering if the longer length of the tub is more important. Or is the overall floor space more important?
