Three foot is the usual viv size for an adult Royal to live in. You'll find that's what most people will keep thier Royals in if they choose vivs. Anything bigger is often too big-a-space for a Royal 'cause they often have a fear of large open space. They much prefer smaller and compact/filled space that they can feel safe and not too exposed in.

Three foot is fine for an adult, but if you have a younger Snake you might find he/she will prefer it if you section off part of that viv for them until they grow/feel more comfortable. But that's no reason why you shouldn't go for three foot vivs to begin with. It's an easy enough thing to do, section of a viv.

Just me and my zoo.

Hi thanks for the replys, the idea is to have two 3ft vivs on the bottom, a line of drawers above them and the two more 3ft vivs above that.
