I would not plan for more than a year and a half for a Carpet in a 29 gal. It depends on the snake, could be less or could be longer.
Most can end up in a 2 x 2 x2 if you are limited on space. I have a 7 footer and an 8 footer each in their own AP T-25. That is a 6 x 30"W x 18" H only because I have the room.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
Mack The Knife, 2013
Lizzy, 2010
Etta, 2013
1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
Esmarelda , 2014
Sundance, 2012
2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017
Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

if I was looking for a snake to keep in a 29 gal for life, I would go either kingsnake (so many choices) or milksnake (so many choices). many others would go corn/ratsnake (so many choices. yes, I know a cornsnake is a ratsnake). those would be my three choices.

also, if I was looking for a snake to keep in a 29 gal for life, i'd be starting it as a hatchling in nothing more than a 16 qt tub.

I'd also turn that 29 gal on it's side when the snake reached adulthood

A green bush ratsnake would be beautiful in the classroom

Re: Possibly looking at a new snake... give me your thoughts
A Rhino Ratsnake would make a tremendous display snake !!
Unusual yet stunning looking , very active during the day and very inquisitive . Mine is even a joy to handle as well ... Spends most of the time in branches but likes to eat under water !!!!! Crazy !

Yeah, I like the idea of a Rhino Rat too!! Beautiful green color and that unique "nose" make them a pretty neat species for a classroom setting. I have no experience keeping them, but as Zincubus mentioned, their active, inquisitive daytime behavior would be great too. And if they're primarily in the branches they would probably make great display snakes too.

I would definitely consider the Arizona Mountain Kingsnake bc they are a gorgeous tri colored snake that is non aggressive. They are great climbers as well and depending on how you setup the display you can and will see more of them. The albino and hypo lines are really very attractive.
