    I think that 3x1x1 feet is too small for an adult. It would be hard for the snake to turn around in such a narrow area, especially once the hidespots and other decor were added. And three feet wide, really would not give a 5+ foot female enough room to stretch out and explore. I think that an adult needs a minimum size of a 55 gallon long tank; even that seems a tad narrow front-to-back in my eyes. My adult male has a custom cage that is roughly 2 feet by two feet by 5.
