How big of a cage do I need for a red tailed adult? The Dimentions i mean. Thanks for all the help. If any of you have any pics of your red tailed cages that would be cool

Country:
The general rule of thumb is to provide one square foot of floor space per foot of snake. Generally most BCI, and some BCC can be kept in a cage measuring 4(L) x 2(W) x 1(H), some larger adults may require a larger cage. Of course these are just the minimum requirements, if you can afford to go larger then thats great

In general, the absolute minimum is about 4' L x 2' W x 2' H, which is fine for your average sized boa. However, larger specimens would need more space. An ideal enclosure size would be 6' L x 2' W x 2' H.

Another point is that if you plan to place a lot of decorations etc. which take up a lot of floor space, then you will need a bigger enclosure.

Hey

I would go with a 4 by 2 by 2........For a nice comfortable enclosure..
But hey, if money isnt a factor go with a bigger 1.
