Floor Space for Spot!

Just a quick question. How much floor space would a full grown spotted python thrive in?

Thanx

Ive checked every caresheet I can find on spotties and they vary widely when it comes to minimum floor space for the animal to thrive in.
Any where from 2 feet by 18 inches (wich seems too small to me) or 4 foot by 2 foot (wich seems pretty damn big unless you just want a huge enclosure) so this is why I posted the question

The more space you give them the better IMO. Id say somewhere around what a 50 gallon tank would be. 36x18x18 should be adequate to house it. But like i said the more room the better when you have an enclosure.
