Good for the site indeed. I've always liked bigger cages for my boids. Not so much tall (though I do have one that is 6ft) but more so longer. Up until recently I started keeping my smaller boas in rubbermaids and they thrive so well, incredibly well. Not to mention is very easy to get the desired surface temps you are looking for. My boas are kept in a room that ranges from 78-82 depending on the time of the year. And I get surface reading s anywhere from 78-91. Which, to me, is ideal (in my opinion of course). And it's easy to do this, with my larger cages, a little more time and effort is put in to maintaining the desired temp/humidity needed. They also seem more alert in tubs. Some of my snakes that are kept in open front cages don't seems as alert in these types of setups. Not that it's bad, but to me it seems the boas kept in these tubs generally have a more healthy, responsive persona. Which I enjoy. (Again, not to say anything bad about cages that have more viewing)
.
I guess my point is that I enjoy large cages too, but I think raising them in tubs is an excellent, and easy, way to get-r-done.
