Is this enclosure to small?

I was going to make an enclosure out of this but think it's too small, do you guys agree?

I'd say that's a bit small for that snake.

Seriously? Look at the pic. Way to small.

Don't mean to be rude, but that is obviously too small.

Only room for a water bowl and nothing else. No room for hides, branches to climb, room to stretch....etc. Worse than a breeder tub imo.

Is that the same burmese from your other post about the swollen face?

Not too small. Just needs a different snake than the one pictured.

I personally use one simple way to calculate if a enclosure is an appropriate size: Width + Depth should be somewhere around the snakes length. If it is a lot smaller, the enclosure is most likely too small.

Ok i figured it was to small but a trip for a rtb and enclosure turned into an 8 hour drive to get this guy in my full size truck. And I ended up paying more for just him then the rtb and setup. I'm kinda low on cash now and had this wooden box laying around and it didn't look much worse than what they have in pet stores. I'm just going to make an 8x4 enclose out of plywood

So if you have the snake now....what is it in?
Always best to get the viv first. Do you have heat and a thermostat for it?
Going to build that big viv today? It will not be cheap. Nor will feeding that burm a year from now. No a great endeavor when your broke.

It just seems like common sense to buy the snake before you have an enclosure or supplies.

Just as dumb as buying a nice saltwater fish. Bringing it home in a bag and then looking into an aquarium.

That would be too small for that snake and by the looks of it, that guy is gonna grow really big really fast. I would definitely look into a much bigger enclosure.

I don't understand how some of you assholes think your helping anyone with the dickish comments you just feel like you have to post. Like I said I went pretty far away from home to get an rtb with a full setup, but that snake ended up being extremely aggressive. I got on Craigslist and looked to see if I could find anything else right where I was. I found this snake which turned out to be exactly what I wanted an hour and a half from where I was(in the opposite direction of home). I realize it wasn't the smartest thing to do to get it before I had and enclosure but I wanted a large albino Burmese, and there was only 2 that I found before this. One was sick which I had a thread on here about, and one was 5 hours east of me. And to prove my point even further that some of your comments were nothing but rude and uncalled for, I got the tote with the snake that it had been staying in for the past year (which was about 36"x18"x4"), so it didn't make much of a difference whether I took the snake or left it with the previous owner. Now this is the enclosure I made tonight, its 8'x4'x2' (the snake is 12-13') I'm going to make another thread with some questions about it. Finally like I said before I was pretty certain the enclose in the original pic was to small but its bigger in comparison than some of the ones I've seen in pet stores so I was wondering if it would work for a few weeks.
