enclosure size

Do you think an enclosure that is 8'Lx30"wx18"h is big enough for an adult burm?

I say yes, unless you have a pretty big one (15ft ). What sex are you talking about?

I think general rule of thumb is.............lenght of enclosure should be half the length of an adult snake, depth=one third the length of said snake,and height can vary but shorter makes it easier to maintain proper heat and humidity.. So if yer talkin' a 15 foot adult burm, 8' x 5' x 2' should work fine. Hope I'm close with this:|

the size 8x 30"x 18" works great for me.
any bigger, you'll have issues heating,and keeping it moist.
