A snake that is 12 to 16 feet in length should at least have an 8ft long enclosure. It is cruel to keep a snake that size in an area that is only 6'. Snakes are very specialized animals, and if you don't know how to care for one properly, don't get one. you may have seen, or heard of people housing their snakes in very small cages, doesn't mean it's right...


:Hi, can someone recommend a girthy snake where the females get between 12 and 16 feet and that would be happy living in a 6' by 2 or 3' enclosure for the rest of their lives?

:Thanks for your time:)!
