Do you guys think that a 72"x30"x18" will be big enough for an adult male retic?

Well right now hes only about 5-5 1/2' but I wanted to plan for wat i was going to need.

That cage size will be fine for awhile. I build my cage lengths over half the size of the snake. The rule of thumb in many books is atleast half the length of the snake. Example, one pair of my retic's are in the 9 ft range., their cages are 7'x 2'x 18". At this time I'm in a smaller building with over 48 snakes. I'm building a new larger room and I will be building even bigger cages, hopefully for the last time. Hope that helps.
