I keep a pair of 9' monsters (along w/a 5' male) in a 5'x4'x5' cage and they're thriving. The only worry is feeding time..if one grabs a thawed mouse off the tongs and drags it into the hide box w/the others the wrestling match is on! Fortunately they eat so remarkably fast that if I entice them out far enough they item is consumed in about 15 seconds and instead of dragging it in they're already looking for more. Be forewarned, they're appetite is nothing short of amazing.
As a side note, I just picked up another male - did'nt need it (like that EVER stopped any of us) but it has to be the most stunning example of the species I've ever seen - 6' w the first 2/3 of its body solid yellow w/ a reddish chin and underbelly - then after about 2/3 its turns solid black like an Indigo - like I said I had to have it.
