Nope....Like i said in your other post your going to need to get a lot more hides and shrubs in there to make the snake feel safe.... Do you plan on getting a adult snake or getting one as a baby???

Yeah, as we both said in the other post. Not enough. Why are you insisting on using such a large cage anyway? Is it a tank you already have, or one you are planning? That’s a 25sq foot cage. That’s huge. I could live in that thing comfortably. Really, that cage is too big for most species of snake. Retic, african rock python, and maybe a burm would be big enough to justify an enclosure that big.

I would personally put a divider down the middle and house two snakes with that sort of space. That is really really huge....I mean...Ive seen rooms for rent in san francisco that arent much bigger! *chuckles*

You are confusing us!!! hehe That many lights might be a bit hot. Run it before you get the snake to be sure you can get an ambent temp of 80*, cool side around 78 hot side 85 or so, with a hot spot around 90, and that it keeps humidity around 55%. You will want to spray when the snake is in shed to bump it up to 70% humidity.

If it does that, you are good to go!
