Well, I thought when I bought him that he would be smaller. he is just about three and a half feet long right now, and at least half a foot to a foot longer than I thought he would be. I assumed that a 3 and a half foot snake in a 5 foot cage with lots of junk in it would be a good fit, but all I have experience with is Ball Pythons, and my Ball is a sweetheart and doesn't care where I put it, so I wouldn't be surprised if im wrong.
