It is big, but with enough hides and plants and 'stuff' it could work. Also, if the snake seems relaxed and is eating and sleeping and not seeming stressed, then it is fine! I have 2 females who went into cages (2x3) when they were about 7 months and they have always done very well. I also have a female who is still in a 16qt tub and she is 9 months old!! Just depends on the snake and the needs of the individual snake.![]()
