I've heard of that "rule of thumb"... I've also heard that a 20gal long is the minimum size for an adult Hondo... I've also heard that a 24 x 48 cage is the minimum for an adult Hondo... great thing about the internet and the opinions you can find there is if you look long enough you will find exactly what you want to hear.



My personal opinion... I prefer an enclosure that has a length and depth roughly equal to the length I expect of the adult snake... something that allows the snake to move around in without having to crawl over itself as it does... but that's just me.



If the only two choices for cages are the ones you mention I'd go with the 20 long.
