Colubrid enclosure size help
hi everyone. I'm looking to build an enclosure based off of one I found on here. I was wondering what the proper measurements would be for Florida and California King snakes home. I will attach the photo of the enclosure I found.

Re: Colubrid enclosure size help
3x2 minimum, 4x2 would be better. This is for an adult animal. Also colubrids are generally very active animals, and will use any and all space you can provide.

Re: Colubrid enclosure size help
I agree , 4x2 is a great all around size. I have 3 enclosures of this size.

Re: Colubrid enclosure size help
I agree with 4 x 2. I have an adult grey banded king in a 3 x 2, and even being a smaller kingsnake I feel she could use bigger.

You can check out the prices on their websites. As far as quality goes, they are all similar. It's just a matter of preference to their design. Some have single drop down/swinging hinged doors, others have the option for sliding glass doors, some come pre-assembled, others are knockdown..etc. Just go over those and see what you like.
Most of those cages are made from PVC except for Constrictors NW and Showcase. Constrictors NW is made from HDPE. Almost nothing sticks to HPDE and it is very stain resistant so that's what make it stand out from the rest.
I personally like animal plastics, and just recently ordered a stack.
