These are opinions from several websites. Check out the URL's.

"Larger females may require a 30 gallon Long, or the equivalent. I keep males in 28 quart Rubbermaid containers, and adults in 24" Wide x24" Long x 12" Tall Barrs Cages."

"...An absolute minimum tank for an adult would be a long twenty gallon tank (30x12x12 inches), though a thirty gallon (36x12x18 inches) would be preferred." (Housing)

"Adults are housed in large 65 quart rubbermaids which they reproduce in and can quite comfortably live in indefinitely. Rubbermaid containers make the ideal ball python cage, they are relatively inexpensive, seem to offer the perfect humidity level and the semi transparent plastic offers a level of security that they feel comfortable with, so much so that hide boxes are often not necessary."
