Every animal has a different level of activity.
Every animal has a different growth rate.
I don't believe in charts that say X animal should be in X enclosure at X size/age. I fit my snakes' needs on the specimen level, not the species level. I think you can get away with it until nose rubbing or stress occurs. I usually give my snakes bigger enclosures as I see they are getting too big to strech out as they want or if their level of activity durasticly increases.
TBH

This is a good rule to go by: The Length of the snake should not be greater than the lenght of the cage plus the width of the cage. *except with very large species*

I'm going to be buying my BRB's final cage, and was gonna go with the 4x2x2 but was wondering if a 3x2x2 would be sufficient?
