I am growing a little frustrated with all of the conflicting information in the world wide web.

What I want to know is, in YOUR OPINION, what is the OPTIMUM cage size for an average sized adult ball python. I'm not too concerned about height, mostly length and width.

Please respond with dimensions only, and not some weird rule of thumb about the length of the snake and how it relates to the sum of the length and width of the enclosure. We are talking an average sized adult , lets say 4.5-5 feet just to keep things consistent with everyone's response.

Everyone's opinion would be much appreciated

Remember, I am looking for the optimum size, not one that is simply adequate.

Thank you very much for your time
