    Is a 75 gallon good enough for a carpet python
    Is a 75 gallon good enough for an adult carpet python? He is 50% irian jaya/ 50% coastal. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/25/ujugehy4.jpg

    He will be a year old July 7 and 30 inches.

    75 Gallons is fine as long as its not too thin on the width, many 75 gallons are super thin and hella high. Some height is great for many morelia, but they will benefit from a deep cage with good floor size as well.

    Keep in mind that aquariums are harder to maintain at proper humidity for many snake species, so ensure you have a good hygrometer to measure this as well as your ambient temperatures. Glass thanks can be hard to create those perfect environments temperature and humidity wise when they are that large. So as long as you know that. Then yes. However, if you have not bought the enclosure YET, may I rec you look into a similarly sized vision cage ;-)

    A 75E aquarium is 48x18x21 roughly. Floor space is nice in a 75E. I think plain 75 gallon tanks are rare or at least they are for my area.

    So if you go with the PVC cage suggestion of your liking, you'll want to be around those parameters. A 48x24x21+ will give you awesome floor space and height.

    It depends in the dimensions. If it is the size as mentioned above it would be close but a little small. A 4 foot long by 2 foot wide tank would be better.

    Right now your snake is small so the 75g is fine and should last quite a while but you will need to upgrade when he is older/bigger.
