Unless you plan on having arboreal(tree-dwellers) species of snake, most do much better in one that is longer ,than one that is higher, as that room would be mostly "wasted" on a terrestrial(ground-dweller) type of snake that would not utilize the heighth for climbing.... Hope this helps..................Doug

ARBOREAL = *Emerald Tree Boa(all tree boas),* Rough Greensnake , *Green Mamba(not a good pet choice!),.TERRESTRIAL = *Kingsnakes,*Milksnakes,*Ratsnakes(semi-arboreal, but do fine without climbing branches), *Hognoses, *Boa Constrictors(semi-arboreal),*Pine Snakes, *Bullsnakes, *Pythons(except Green Tree Python, which is strictly arboreal), *Garter Snakes,....and most colubrids in general make good low tank captives........hope this helps,.............................................Doug

For highs I would say a cornsnakes, smaller female ratsnakes,Children's Python (from a small line, like mine are only 2-2.5ft), For 20 long western hognose, kenyan sand boa, smaller milksnake species.
