size enclosure for BHP - how big

Hi there, Im getting some bhp soon. After they get a bit bigger (out of the small enclosure), what size enclosure should be big enough to house each. I'm actually building some enclosures into a wall of my house, but before I start, I would like to know how big I need to make them.

Your help in this would be appreciated.

Cheers
Colby

Cheers, thanks for that, is that for one snake. Also, with the BHP's, is it correct that they need more floor space rather than climbimg space as they are a ground dwelling snake?

yep they are terrestrial so more floor space. It is per snake - BHPs eat reptiles naturally so keeping them together could end in disaster

Cheers, I was thinking around that size, I'm building a wall on the end of my lounge creating an office on the other side and I thought it would look pretty good to put some enclosures in the wall. Ive got about 2m of length to play with. I was goin to put three enclosures stacked on each other but Im still designing as to make it look most effective.

When I start the project, I'll post step by steps

Sounds like a very interesting project.
I will keep and eye out for picks when you get it going.
BHPs are the best.

Why dont you go make a different thread zeko. That question you asked didnt have anything to do with what bow asked. 6ftx2ftx2ft is a nice enclosure for a fully grown BHP.
