At minimum 3x2 for a 5 foot snake, but bigger is always better. Just give lots of hiding options and clutter, and add as many climbing things as you want.
My BP is a shy animal. He does not like to be seen a lot. He won,t fit good in a glass tank. There are times at night when he gets real active, in such times i have to get him out of his enclosure because he will be too active no matter how big the enclosure is. By the way, the amount of space he is getting is very good compared with what some members in this forum said they are housing their balls in. I have read suggestions in this forum that 0,82 feet (25 cm) height is enough for an adult ball python. Plenty of people keep even adult boas in racks and they aren't quite 12 inches high. They need such recommendations of yours.
