Big cage for burm ??

Hey everybody, well here’s the question in my opinion I see no problem with it but I'm always open for others opinions, my baby albino burm, he’s probably just over 3 feet, bye the time I'm ready too build a new cage for him he'll be at least 4', what I'm wondering is if anybody would think it would be too stressful too move him right into a Large environment, probably 6' x 2.5'x 2.5' (maybe a bit bigger but about that) when he’s only 4 feet, I've heard it can be stressful for babies too be housed in too large of an enclosure but that the bigger the better for adults, so I assumed it was just when there young there not used too there surroundings and would prefer small spaces, but he has definitely gotten used too me being around, never hides, not timid at all, so would anybody agree with me that moving him into a Large enclosure wouldn’t stress him out at all ?? I build my own enclosures it would be made of wood, (waterproofed) with tempered glass front. Let me know what you think.

I would see no real problem in it. If its 4 feet like you say the snake should be fine. Just make sure everything is perfect in the tank right before the move and you should be okay.

If your snake likes hides, then just put in appropriate sized hides for your snake, when my snake was 5 feet I put him in his 8x4 enclosure and he was fine, I think he actually prefers it rather then a ruubermaid, cause I never see him trying to escape!
