New guy......from the U.K

Good evening all. ( where I am anyway).
MY wife and I are new to snake keeping, having inherited a Dwarf red-tailed reticulated python. he is four and half foot long and we are told he wont grow much more, being about four years old.He came with a three foot vivarium. we were told this is the minimum recommended size, but we were wondering if, we could get a slightly shorter, but taller viv? He comes out for a couple of hours everyday for a "run" round the lounge, and when its warm enough ( not often at the moment) we take him for a bask in the garden. and any other general advice would be more than welcome.
thanks

Hi Jeb. Welcome to the forum. That's not a reticulated python you have there sir, that's a boa of some sort. You might want to look up a good care sheet.
