big vivarium baby bps???

[clown666]

iv herd that putting a baby bp in a big vivuarium causes stress is this true so that means insted of buying a big viv straight away u have to start with a smaler viv then get bigger one as the snake gets bigger coz wen i was get my bp i was going to get a big viv so i never have to buy a bigger 1 wen it gets big but sum 1 said u have to start wirth a smaller 1 then buy bigger vivs as the bp gets bigger is this true (soz if its a little confuzin the way iv worded it)

Get 30 gallon to start with and upgrade the hide box as the snake outgrows it. This will be a one-shot deal, except for the hide box. Or gat a dhirty galun tank 2 sturt wit & upgraide da hydebux as da snake out gruwsit.

A larger enclosure can definately stress out a small bp. If you go the large enclosure route, make sure you have both a warm side and cool side hide (which you should have anyway). I would recommend keeping more hides than that if possible. When I kept a small bp in a large enclosure, I did several things to limit stress. I had 4 hides (old small butter tubs), two water bowls, and crumbled newspaper to raise security. That worked great for me. The safer a small snake feels , the less stress they experience, and the better they will eat
