he is 4 feet long, the cage is 4 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet. i have him on aspen right now. his cage furniture includes one water bowl, a climbing branch, and two hides one is about 1 foot x 8 inches x 2 inches and the other is a shoebox with a hole cut into the top. i really strongly believe he learned that it opens by sliding because hes been housed ther for about a little over 4 months now. temps are 78 at night and 82-87 during the day, he always has a 90-94 degree basking spot and the humidity hangs around 50.
