Minimum height for a BP enclosure?

[War Enigma]

Hey fam, I built a large cage for me geckos that actually was ment for snakes. It's 4ftx2ftx2ft. I'm thinking of cutting it in half height to make two cages or maybe even three so one would be 16in L x 12in h x 24in w. Would that be a good size for a BP to stay in from 70-100g to adulthood?

Since balls aren't an arborial species they don't need much height. I would say 2 foot height should be fine for a ball.

Ok cool, would 1ft be to short? I was gonna go for a realistic enclosure

The minimum floor space for an adult male ball is 24inX16 inches. For an adult female(females get bigger than males) it is 34inX16 inches. So that size would be adequate for a single male, but not a full grown female.

Height wise it doesn't really matter. Many breeders keep balls in 6 in high enclosures. They don't climb, so height is not an issue.

Ok so I'll split it in two but make the females side larger. Thanks

i have some in 40qt tubs and getting ready to build a 28-30qt for more of my balls that are in the 300 and above range. that should take them into adulthood.
