Choosing a size for new enclosure tank

[Mittens]

I would go with the smaller one, since you dont put anything in the tank except for hides and water bowl.
Big tanks are awesome, but require more to keep them cluttered with “cover” and more energy to maintain temps

True that, I do have some issues keeping the ambient temperature up in the winter.

I have my boas, carpet, and BRB in 4'x2' x 15-18" tall cages. Between large hides, and a bowl large enough to soak in, it takes up the room fast. Keep in mind that some BPs can get over 4' long also. I have an adult female that is pushing 4.5' at this point.

If it was me, I'd go ahead and go with the 4' long cage to give you room to position things how you want them and add a branch or fake plants if you so desire.

BTW, are you aware that boaphile can have a long lead time and can have poor communication via email? I've heard he does better when you actually call him and talk to him (he is old school). Nothing against the guy, just wanted to let you know the best way to contact him.

All of my cages are either AP or C-serpents.

Thanks for the heads up about the boaphile guy, I just like theirs because they offer it in white (which I was looking for unlike AP cages) and has a lot of single door options. Seems like AP is more for breeders so most of their cages to my knowledge come with dual doors.



I may end up getting the big one but I definitely don't want to add too much inside her enclosure as I want clean up to be as efficient as possible.. may have to do some more deep thinking before I make a decision.. thanks everyone!
