Do I need a new enclosure for my BP and if so, suggestions?

I didn't catch how long your snake is. Sorry if I missed that. Going with 3 years old, I'm assuming 3.5-4 ft? It could easily be more or less. Based on that you are probably ready to go bigger. As a very general rule many believe that to figure the size you add the length of the cage to the width. You are currently at 2.5 plus 1 ft which puts you at 3.5 feet. You want that measurement to be equal to or bigger than the length of your snake.

Most BPs top out at 4-5 ft in length, so you probably only need to go bigger just once. Ideally 4 ft long, 1.5 -2 ft wide would work well. You can get by with a 3x1.5, etc. I display my snakes so for me the larger I can get to fit space constraints and cost works for me.

Good lifelong plastic/PVC display enclosures can be had for equal to or not much more than tank setups. A few examples are Animal Plastics, Boaphile, BoaMaster, Pro Products, and others. Setting up the heat and good thermostats can really drive up the cost. But well worth it.

I believe that Animal Plastics offer more options with more selection than the others. But I love the big drop down door on the Boaphile with super heavy duty latches which offer superior escape proofing without going to locks.

A tub setup will well too. Just get one big enough. Same with a tank. But for me, when it was time to upgrade I went from well controlled tanks to plastic and have not looked back.

There are some strong opinions here to what is best. There is more than one way to tree a coon. Just be sure to look at all options so that you get what is best for you and your snake.
