If you plan on getting a baby then no, it is too big.

Hmm... that's the equivalent of a 15 or 20 gallon? He might be fine for a while as a juvie, but as an adult I find that a little too small. My 2 yr old female is 4ft long and is presently housed in a 33 gallon, with I find is getting small for her.

Basically, it depends on what size bp you are getting and if you plan on keeping it in that tank all its lfe.

Yes. For an adult 36Lx18Wx12or18H would be fine. That cage up top would be good for a while. A good rule of thumb is a square foot of space for every square foot of snake.
Cheers,
Trevor

Personally, i think that is more height then needed. Try to go with a 33 gal long.
