For a Male it should be ok mine does like to climb , though i have seen males reach 7 feet and be large so it could outgrow it but i would say you would have 5 years to make plans for a larger cage if needed. I have my 2010 3 ft male HG in a 48x24x14 and its plently big enough for him for now. i have seen some really big females too , don't always believe the description on adult snake sizes as it all depends on feeding and genetics. I always use 1.5 sqr foot of floor space per foot of snake in general .
