Wondering what everyone is housing their adult pythons in. Will a 52"x15"x22" cage cut it for an adult JCP?

I keep my big female, well over 8ft, in a 4x4x2.5 foot enclosure. Seems a bit small these days but she definetly enjoys the height. I think for Morelia, unlike some other species, bigger is better.
4x4! Got any pictures, I assume you made an enclosure with those dimensions?

I have two enclosures the exact same size. The one my big Jungle is in I bought from cages by design, it cost about 1k delivered and has not held up very well. It's very unsturdy and won't survive another move. The other one I have is made of melamine, I bought it for $75.00 off of craigs list and it is the sturdiest cage I own. It keeps the humidity and heat very well. I don't have any pics, sorry, but you can go to the cages by design website and see what they look like.
Here's a couple pics of my JCP enclosure. It's 4'L x 2'W x 4'H, It has two levels with a hole in one level so it can access the bottom, which doubles the surface area, and it has one shelf (top right of cage) that adds more surface area. Total surface area is about 20 sq.ft. Lots of temperature gradients for her to choose from. There is an automatic misting system that sprays a ultra fine mist onto the plants on the left side of the cage, twice a day for one minute durations. The lights are on timers set to sunset and sunrise and has a night light that comes on for night time heat. It also has full spectrum light that comes on during the brightest part of the day to help the plants grow. Of course all this is overkill, admittedly, but I went all out and really enjoy it.
