Hatchling JCP?

[meekjz]

What size enclosure do you suggest starting one of these out in? Hoping to pick one up up in the next couple weeks or so. I have a couple 10 gallon tanks, will one of those work or too large/small?

A 10 gallon should be fine after you tweak it around a bit.

A 10 gal. should work for a hatchling. Make sure that you provide 2 hides and something to climb on. They are semi-arboreal, and will appreciate it...

With plenty of cover, any size would do. A 300 gallon glass aquarium with vines, structure, ground hides, climbing limbs, etc wouldn't be "too big".

These aren't ball pythons.

I put together 2x18''x2 exo terra planted vivs for the last pair of hatchlings I picked up.

As long as they have room to stretch out, thermoregulate, and perch, you're good.
