Shouldn't the ball python caresheet be updated on the enclosure size part?

I'd add that arguably, 2FT tall is not ideal in many instances, but also specifically for a BP. Arboreal snakes are a different, but for most snakes, 2FT tall isn't necessary and might be problematic.

It might make sense to consider a larger footprint than 3X2', especially for a larger specimen, but asking for 2FT tall is a different story.

Yes, taller tanks are easier to clean. However, BP's are burrowers, not climbers (in general) and like to feel snug. Further, 2FT tall makes stacking tanks more difficult (due to height limitations in many rooms) and makes it harder, or least more expensive, to heat the tank properly, and potentially more difficult to maintain proper humidity.

I keep my female BP, Shayna, in a 4X2X1.5', but even at 1,800G, think she would be okay in a 36X24, and 1 FT tall would be fine regardless. My Boas are in 6X2X1' tanks, for example. Harder to clean, yes. Plus, frankly, they would probably enjoy height, but I have a low ceiling (less than 6.5FT) and many tanks. The lower height makes stacking possible and heating is much less expensive. I do take the boas out regularly to exercise and climb.

Anyway, I digressed, but there are many ways to properly keep snakes (including BP's).

I haven't looked at the care sheet, but how is 36X24" defined? Standard, ideal, or acceptable? Language is important. Again, haven't not read the care sheet in some time, not defending it, just saying that a) I don't necessarily agree with the height recommendation here, and b) that there is more than one way to properly care for a BP, and snakes in general.
