4' high is VERY difficult to keep temps right. All the heat will rise to the top...

and that cage will most likely only house it for about a year.
the formula most cage builders use is to add the length and depth and the total is the maximum length a snake can be to be housed comfortably.
So 8 x 3 = an 11 foot snake.
Remember, this snake will outgrow just about any cage. It is better to have a room sized enclosure dedicated to just the one snake.
Good luck.
Too much information is a good thing. Do your research.

The formula I have been using for 25 years now for big pythons is Length + 2 x Depth = . That has worked well for me and my snakes for many years. So an 8x2 cage would be just barely big enough for a 12' snake. Give less height to the cage and more width and it will last you alot longer.
