Cage question

[michaelt]

Looking at future cage/tank for my Normal BP.. looking at the animal plastic cages right now, my BP is only about 2ft long right now was looking at the T3 cage(36x24x12) or posibley T8 (48x24x12) with a divider for now untill he gets bigger, or the t10 to get the extra 3 inch of height. Will the 48" be too big for when hes and adult?

Also slideing doors vs swinging doors, and glass vs acrylic doors?

I found a 40 gallon tank at Petsmart with a screen lid that also has a mini-door. This mini door has been VERY useful when feeding and changing water. I moved my snake into it when he was about 2ft and he did just fine. Mt tank doesn't have side doors but I would think that sliding would be better. Swinging doors might easily be broken if swung too far. I would also go for glass. Theres no reason I prefer glass…..I just do. Also if you are going to move him to a big cage early, be sure to put plenty of decorations in it so that its more crowded and less open. He will feel more comfortable.

I was looking at the exo terra ones but want something that will hold heat and humidity better then glass with screen top. Also have no problem feeding I take him out to do so.

Well I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the T3 so 36x24x12 with sliding glass doors, with flex watt, what size RHP would you guys recommend for this cage, temps in the room range from 69-75 right now, want to get away from CHE.

I'd personally go with a T8 with sliding glass doors and a divider. That way that terrarium will last him for the rest of his life.

Honestly you could get away with a T8 skip the divider and just clutter it up that way you dont have to buy another a year down the road

40 or 80w RHP room temps 69-75 in winter and 75-80 in summer
