Personally I'd say no that is too small for an adult BP. Some get stressed in larger cages and only eat in very small ones. Mine was active in a 4x2 and then stopped in a 2x2. He has since been upgraded to a 4x2. Personally 24x24 would be the minimum

My male BP is in a 36x18x18 but as he's 700+ grams and 3ft he will probably need a 4ft one within the next 6 months

Honestly 3x2x1 should be the minimum. I too have dound that BPs who are labled as 'pet rocks' are actually very active (as adults) when in a larger cage. Because of this I will be looking at getting 4x2x1 cages for all of them in the future. (2 are still babies anyway).

He is about 2.5yrs old. I don't have exact birth date but was born summer 2014.
