2ft long x 2ft wide x 3ft high

Do you think that would be an adequate setup?

The floor space is a wee bit small but I think it would suffice.

No, that wouldn't be big enough. If you NEED to go with those dimensions, do 3L x 2D x 2H... but 3L x 2D x 3H is way better!

Perfect dimensions in my books! For sure. Zoe is right!

I never use glass tanks for snakes.
They look crap and hold no heat.
Use timber all the way with swing open doors with glass.
The animal will feel safer with 3 solid walls and a solid floor and roof and its easier and much more efficent to heat.

that size is fine for an adult IJ. 3x2x3 is better. but 2x2x3 is absolutely alright.

Couldn't agree more! Tanks are better left to desert animals and fish! Its impossible to maintain adequate humidity AND ventilation. There is no cross ventilation, and by blocking off parts of the top, you are getting rid of any available airflow. This equals stagnant air and a prime environment for spores to grow in.

What if it were 3-4 feet long, 3-4 feet high, but only 18 inches deep?

Would that be sufficient for an adult? I have a tv stand that I could pretty easily convert into an enclosure. what does everyone think of this idea?
