Inelastic neutron scattering was used to determine the spin Hamiltonian for the singlet ground-state system of fully deuterated BPCB, (C5D12N)2CuBr4. A two-leg spin-1/2 ladder model, with J⊥=(1.09±0.01) meV and J∥=(0.296±0.005) meV, accurately describes the data. The experimental limit on the effective interladder exchange constant is |Jinteff|≲0.006 meV, and the limit on total diagonal,
