I should mention that pythons are considered ground snakes in those laws linked above, and I find that with my own two pythons they prefer to have places to climb, large branches to slither up, and holes in the limbs to hide in as well. I suggest that you consider an enclosure for your snake as if it was a tree python. It won't hang out in the tree in the same way, but it will appreciate the space.

The laws are the minimum, so if you have one python you will find that the tiny enclosures sold as 'perfect for ball pythons' in other countries (and even in Sweden, despite it being of illegal size) are not at all good for them. I have had people tell me that royal pythons like to be in their hide, and this is true, but they also come out and enjoy hunting, stretching out, and being able to hide in various places depending upon temperature, barometric pressure, or that its Tuesday.

If you have more than one in the same enclosure, it isn't a suggestion but a requirement for them to both be relaxed and have space where they can hide both on the warm side of the tank, or the cold. Also both having room to climb and hunt for fun means they get on better with each other, as well as with you. The less stress they have, the more tolerant of handling they are.
