38 gallon ok for a JCP?

I have seen JCPs that are 8 ft long. How do they get there? The owner feeds and feeds their snake. I have seen ball pythons over 5 feet. Why? Because the owner feeds and feeds and feeds their snake. I have seen JCPs that are 12 years old that are just at 5 feet and this is because they are perfectly healthy eating once every two weeks. It is very natural for these snakes to eat around 20 times a year and by doing so they do not become 8.5 ft they stay on the short end of the average size. Average size for JCP are 5-6 ft. Rarely do they become 8 ft and when they do its because they are offered food usually multiple times a week and because their owner want them to grow as big as they possibly can get. I most likely will build a tall vivarium for her in a couple of years but for now she will be perfectly healthy in her 40.
