    T8 too big for juvi?

    I am awaiting my t8 order and am wondering if it is going to be too large for my juvi? Not sure if it will stress him out being in such a large enclosure.

    you should be fine, I keep BP's in T8's from day 1. I start them off in half of a T8 (using the divider sold by AP) and eventually they graduate into the full cage

    If he acts likes he's stressed you can always fill up some space with crumpled news paper. Lots of folks have had success with this method.

    Yeah, my understanding is that as long as it's not just empty space, a medium to large cage isn't a problem. It's when they have no choice but to be exposed that they don't do well. A couple of hides and some clutter, be it paper, fake plants, whatever, and you should be fine...
