Firstly, welcome to the site!

Those are different dimensions, what kind of cage is it?

Many people will say it isn't a good idea to buy the animal based on the cage, and I have been guilty at times as well. There is a great truth to that statement, however, you never know you might find something that both appeals to you AND fits the cage

Sorry, the title of this thread cracked me up.

Hmm...that's about 7 square feet. That will hold most terrestrial colubrids, smaller arboreals or small boids. An adult ball python would be happy in there, but a baby would need smaller digs for a while. Pretty much any cornsnake, kingsnake or milksnake would do well in there as adults. You have a lot of choice.

Don't let your cage pick your snake for you. Find what you like and want to keep then if that cage doesn't work sell it, trade it or what ever and get a cage for the snake you want.
