size for brb enclosure?

I am gonna be building an enclosure for my BRB soon and I want it to be the one she lives in from now on...She is almost 3 feet long right now but i am just wondering how big i should make it so that she will have enough room when she is "full grown"

Any hints would be helpful

4x2x1 is a good sized enclosure for a full grown brb... I'm pretty sure that that's what Jeff keeps his adults in

I concur - 4x2 floor space, height is irrelevant. The BRB probably won't climb, but I'd give it more than a foot - 18" is good.

i would build her a 3 foot long by 2 feet wide and 12 inces high as that is great for a brazilian rainbow boa they don't need that much space4 by 2 by 18 seems like to much room for that kind of boa they don't get big i house 6 foot - 8 foot boas in 4 2 18 hope this helps you out.

4x2x1, They are semi arboreal but they almost never climb. So the given formula is lenght+width should = total length of snake.

is that one foot tall then...?
would 18 inches be ok? just for ease of putting things in and taking things out of the enclosure?

I'm sure it would be fine. Remember your BRB is probably going to hide under something the whole time. Don't expect him/her to spend its time climbing on anything.

Thanks Yness, she was my first BRB. Unfortunatly some thigns happened that convinced me to give up my collection of snakes and I do not own her any more. But like someone else here said, all BRB's are photogenic.
