Sapphire; 8 sq. feet of floor space is exactly what you said you're going to be putting your ball in; check your second post in this thread (4x2x2).
Munchy; you should have made yourself clear. Who mentioned anything about "small rubbermaids that are too small for a hide"? Pretty ignorant comment, you should go to a Zellers or a Wal-Mart, and look at the vast assortment of rubbermaids available.
Marisa; You go sister! I agree entirely with everything that you've said in this thread. It's too often that enclosures are built for the owner and not the snake being housed.

Sapphire, I agree, and 8 foot cage would be too big (but I also think that a four foot cage is too big). To each their own.

Sapphire, for my balls over 1500g I use the rubbermaid #2119-87 (34x16x6) which I conveniently keep in a rack identical to Mark Mandics' "Eating Machine" rack. I really like the fact that the entire back of the enclosure acts as a dark hide, which allows me to use those hides for my other balls. Even with the extra room, I'm yet to see a ball utilize more than 1/4 of the enclosure. Weird, really...

Het and Sapphire, I have pics of the rack I just built under "New Rack" in the Enclosure Showcase Forum here. It may be a bit buried, and the pics aren't the greatest, but you'll get the idea.
