Too tall, foot max, but till its roughly 3 ft in length, the snake will let you know when its too small usually. Hot spot 85, cool side 75, humidity 80+% until its bigger. I love cyprus mulch as a bedding, it holds mosture really well and helps boost humidity. Hides on both warm and cool sides that the snake will fit snugly in. Fresh water every 1-3 days, sooner if soiled. This is what I do for my 2 and I never had a problem, both feed great. I use a small tuperware dish full of wet sphagnum moss too that is big enough for them to crawl in to help boost humidity and give them a humid hide.

Yes, providing there is enough security and places to hide!

If you are going with a glass terrarium get an atasuki terrarium instead. Where are you located? I know a guy selling some real nice PVC cages pretty cheap.

I live in Toronto, ON, Canada
What measurements would be good for a male brb for his entire life?

A 4 by 2 by 2 should suffice.

Definitely go with a PVC. I am probably too far away to be of much help because of shipping.
