It's 2X2X2 with the removable perch. When he starts out-growing it (he should be fine for over another year) I'll be moving him to the enclosure especially made for carpets from animal plastics.

The boaphile is great, I ordered with the florescent installed and it's awesome for viewing and for pictures. I installed a RHP myself from Reptile Basics, and hooked that up to a thermostat. I'm going to the White Plains show this weekend for some stuff for Spot to climb on, at the moment he just has a water bowl and a couple of hides.

Cool, thanks. You're going to get the AP custom Anthony Capionetto (sp?) one? I've looked at that one. I was figuring I'd make my own perches for Jerome out of branches or something to make it look more realistic. This is going to be my only display cage so I want it to look nice as it'll be in my living room. I think for an arboreal snake radiant heat panel is ideal, how do you like yours?

Yes, the Anthony Capionetto one, it looks great for an adult carpet (maybe a bit small for a coastal or a huge jungle, but Spot is 100% Irian Jaya)

I like the RHP alot, I'm sure you know that by using an RHP you avoid screen tops, so the cage is excellent for holding heat and humidity. Make sure you get a strong enough RHP because you want it to be enough heat, just control it with a thermostat. You'll be very happy with your boaphiles
