Well, even if you do go with a cage of those massive dimensions, it would be more than enough room for say, something the size of a large adult female
BCI. I have to agree, the
BCIs are awesome snakes if you can house them properly, a cage with about half of each dimension would house one comfortably. Keep in mind, a lot of the boids (especially the larger species, i.e.
BCI/BCC, burms, etc.), as they become adults they spend much less time climbing. So, all that vertical space would be a waste, even if you put in shelves. Have you considered one of the carpet pythons? They tend to be a bit more arboreal as adults than other pythons (even 8'x4'x3' is quite large for even the largest carpets). I think they're great snakes, personally. The Brazilian rainbow boas really interest me, but you have to be prepared to provide a lot of humidity, as well as a beautiful snake that spends a lot of its time in hiding. Don't forget about the colubrids, there's a lot of great snakes in that family as well. Good luck in your search.

.....I've got a Mini snuasher so I have him to consider as well. Now while this will be my first snake My cousin and I bought a Buernesse Python about 2 years ago and I help care for him in everything. lol I knew more about his check-ups then my cousin and it was his snake. Now I know I can't take care of a 20+ foot snake due to the fact that I live with 2 other people as well as another dog so that 5 beingings in one home. (large house so no worries) Now I've heard that Balls are good but I've been around them and the only thing that comes to mind is Boring...no offence to those who have them and love them, Something else was a Red Tail Boa...Now Ive only seen one of these once and they are very pretty but I dunno if thats what I want....people say they are great snakes to have cause they have good temperment and they dont get HUGE!..Another was a Dumeril's Boa...which was needless to say a very interesting snake. I'm open to all suggestions on what to look for but Im thinking more along the lines of a python or boa. The other thing is how big of a cage...I know that one is all up to opinion but My own oppinion is like an 8x4x3, 8feet long, 4feet tall, and 3feet wide. So as you can see I've been seriously thinking about getting one so....help me out. Let me know what ya think. Thanks much.
