I am not sure about anyone ells but I would hate to be a 10-12 foot snake and be bent in half in a 4 foot long enclosure. I cant believe they would recommend something like that. That’s only 11” wider but 8” shorter than my 55G Leopard Gecko or 55G Enclosure one of my baby boas are in now. I am by no means an expert either but it just seems that is way to small for an adult snake. Last time I asked a similar question the most common answer I got was give it a cage as big as you can afford or have room for. Right now one of my young Columbians is in a 55G enclosure and the other young Columbian is in a 40G enclosure. The plans for there final home call for an enclosure 8’ long about 3-4’ wide and 3-4’ tall. I would say that is the absolute minimum I would feel good about keep such a large snake in.
