Would a 15 in high enclosure be enough? I don’t think it would be. The other demensions are 53 in long and 24 in deep. I know those are big enough. I am goign to a reptile show on the 23 and 24 and was going to look for a BP. But then i found these guys. Thanks!

That is plenty big enough for any adult female BRB.

Because females are larger than males, right? I can’t decide between BP and BRB. I think im going with a BP though because they stay reletively smaller than the BRB. And there is a tub 30in, 15 in 19 in at Northern tool for 25 dollars, way cheaper and equivelant to 40 gallons, Im gonna cut out the front and put lexan on and make a mesh top.

BPs are small in length (5.5 - 6 foot) but much larger in girth (thickness).

A male BRB will only get 5 - 5.5 feet long and a female 6 - 7 feet long...but a lot less thick than a BP.

And they each have completely different husbandry requirements.

One likes lower temps and high humidity...the other higher temps and lower humidity.

What snake best suits your ability to care for it and your level of interactivity?

BPs like tight spaces and to pretty much be left alone. And they can be picky eaters.

BRBs accept handling more ofter better and BRBs eat just about anything!

Well, I have both a BP and BRB and they are both amazing snakes. They both ok with handling. Eating for me is a bit iffy. My Bp dont refuse meals too often. But the BRB never refuse a meal unless its F/T. Depends if you want a thick snake or not. Bps need smaller cages so that might be something to think about....
