Do you mean 5 x 5 feet (25 square feet). Would think 5 square feet would be a bit small.

sounds a little small. I have a pair of water pythons inside an enclosure but somehow i think i will be getting them a bigger enclosure towards the end of summer which will be soon enough.

A water will have roughly the same requirements as a carpet python.
