what about your backround gives you the right to say "ideal"... you have a degree in zoology or done personal studies that have been posted in a magazine or something? Im going to guess the answer is no just like you not trying to house them in anything other than 12qt. I always thought ideal snake requirements were 2 snug hides... temps between 78-83 cool and 88-95 warm... humidity above 50%... I didnt know there was an "ideal" size.. i stick to my previous statement... your ignorant.
