Is 42x24x18 good for a coastal for life?
48x24x15 or 42x24x18, which would you pick?
Are you getting the snake as baby or yearling or full grown or what? You wouldn't want to put baby in such a large enclosure, but it would be fine for a more mature snake.
I keep my young adults in 75 gallon tanks, and my adults are in home made enclosures that are much larger and tall so I am able to create nice roomy arboreal environments for them.
Right now she is about one year old and 4.5 feet living in a 110 qt rubber maid. I would rather do one upgrade instead of going through many enclosures of different sizes. Thanks.
Oh well that should be fine. Post up some pictures, let's see that snake!
She is a tiger carpet.

Those are some fantastic stripes! Great looking snake.
