Cage too small????
Hey guys! So I'm a first time owner and my boy has pretty much gotten to his full length and he's a hefty boy. I've read a lot on here that a 20long gallon tank would be fine for an adult bp, but with his hide and everything in there, it's looking too small? Hopefully the pic shows up okay, I'm doing this on my phone

No pic.
You have to upload it to photobucket, or the like, and then copy/paste the "img" code.
How old is he? Weight?

Best using the free app TapaTalk to be honest for uploading photos to sites like this .
TapaTalk is great for perusing many forums and has a built in ONE button photo upload option !

The question is: can you provide him a bigger tank? Do you have the space for it? If yes, then please do. How big should the tank be? Well, we just discussed that recently. Look at these 2 links:

Re: Cage too small????
Rule of the thumb is that half perimeter should equail around snake length

here's the picture! I do feel like it is too small... but I handle him quite a bit so he's able to fully extend and he's definitely in his hide 98% of the time
