Want to build cage for my BP. Have some questions.

I was just wondering would 4x2x2 be a good size for an adult BP or would it be too small/big? She is about 3 1/2 - 4 feet.

Thanks

Steve

4Lx2Wx12" to 18"H would be fine. No need for the 2' high mark with a BP. Most people will tell you that 3'L is all you need but I think 4' is better for a nice display cage. IMHO.
Cheers,

Why not go the full 2' high? BP's do like to climb if given the space, It also make a very nice display when you have all the branches in there with your snake perched in them. JMO

If you have a heavy enough branch in there and an adventurous enough BP, it will probably use the height. Base it around how you plan to decorate it. If you're not putting strong, sturdy climbing branches in, you won't need the height, but as I said in my thread about my cages in progress, one sheet of melamine gives you exactly a 4x2x2 cage with no leftovers.

right now if you go to a wal-mart they have these rubbermaid like containers for fake christmas tree's that is 4ft long x 17 in wide x about 1.5 ft tall. I got both my bp's in them (each one has their own) a 3.5-4ft male and a little 2-2.5 female.
