    Dumeril Tank Size

    So Im thinking about getting a dumerils from my local reptile store and Im curious about the right tank size for him.

    He's about 3ft long and has a diameter of 2ish inches.

    What do you think? Will a 20L work? or would a 32Qt sterilite be better?

    A 20L should be ok for awhile.. I think tubs are better for snakes in general. one of the 3' long tubs would be great for your little bugger.

    Yes an adult is going to need a 4' cage ultimately.

    I know I'm in the process of building a few large cages. But I was curious if I could use what I have. Before the cages are built

    Sure you can. Dums are pretty easy to keep happy.. adults anyway.
