Yeah, should be good. She might maxx at 7ft. The lenth of the cage would then be a little better than half her body lenth. Of course if you can afford more room for her if she grows that huge, it would be good. But overall I think sh'ed do fine in the dementions you've put down.

All my breeders but 2 are in 3x2x1.5 cages. That cage will be PLENTY big enough.

I just went out today and bought the wood and started a cage exactly this size... And its for just one snake at my house.

I can sit inside this thing comfortably and not feel claustrophobic. I had to implement two more shelves and a bunch more branches to make it livable for her. Make sure you put wheels on it, or drill caster holes so you can attach wheels when you need to move it, and buy enough polyurethane to cover it, the quart cans arent big enough. I even put a light box access cover in the top to change the lights and for electrical storage (ie. timers, rheostats, etc, and its huge.

Right now I'm thinking of wiring the back with flexwatt or making a false shelf under the top hidebox for it.

Give us and update on how yours comes along, mine is almost done, just waiting on glass and making the doors, and varnish...
