More is always better.

Realistically though, that seems like fairly acceptable dimensions. I have a full-grown mali (about 13 inches) and his cage is 48x24x24, but I would decrease the height if I were to do it again. Until I made the new cage, I had the mali (Archie) in a 40 gallon breeder (36x18x18), but that was definitely too small for him.

I do not know that that answers your questions directly, but at least it gives you some more information.
