: My question to you experts is: I was told that it is more important for an ig to have height to his enclosure than to have length. Our enclosure is about 6 1/2 ft. high by 4ft. long. There are different levels for climbing and a warm area for basking and a cooler area when she is in the mood. She seems happy but is growing rapidly so am thinking about enlarging her living quarters. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I heard 1 and 1/2 times length of the IG, 1 times the height, and 2/3 times the width.
So 5ft IG would need 7.5 long, 5 high, approx 3.5 wide?
This cage would basically be a sleeping and when your at work cage, any IG this size needs to be let
out to roam as much as possible. Just my .02, I'm new to this myself, just what I've been told and read!
