Adults as much as you can but depending on the size of burm i like 14x14 but that's just me.
More space the better.

You house all 16 of your giant snakes in 14X14 foot enclosures? Even if they're not all adults, lets say 8 of them were... thats *calculates* 1568 square feet. Thats alot! From what I've read, 8X4 for an adult seems to be sufficient. But bigger is better.

8X4 is a good size for an adult burm, but many people can afford to keep them in larger enclosures.

8x4 is the minimum, go bigger if you can.

50x20 all the way! I would personally give it a room, such as a 10x10 room or something, but I would do 10x6 as sugested. If you could do 50x20(yes, fifty by sixty) that would be beautiful! But im sure you couldnt. Anyways, Go with 8x4 MINIMUM! If you can do 14x8 or 12, go for it! Good luck!

You are all stating large sizes for enclosures. Does it matter if it's male or female?
