Changing Tanks

[kayrussell]

Hi,

My 8 month old BP (approximately) is in a 10 gallon tank and I was wondering if I should make the change to a bigger one yet? He is getting bigger, around 2 to 2 and a half feet now but i don't want to get a bigger tank and stress him out

Help PLEASE.

He looks fine for that tank. I would get him a hide that makes him feel more secure though, that hide seems to have a big opening.

i've actually changed his hide, he used to love that one but he's too big for it now teehee. when do you think i should change it up? and how big do you figure?

Looks like a comfy size for him still. What size aquarium are you planning to get? He'll probably be fine with it stess-wise, especially if he's already eating eagerly. If you're really worried about him being stressed by a larger tank, you could go with a tub-like enclosure instead. You can make them look very natural. They're way less expensive and not nearly as heavy as fish tanks.

Good luck.

x2 on the tub setup. I have mine in a tub and I LOVE it. So easy to move, and holds in humidity like a beast.
