wondering when

[babygerl3094]

hi all i was just wondering if someone could tell me when i should change tanks for my snake.... right now he is in a 20gal tank and he is the length of it, so i was just wondering if anyone could tell me what size tank i should move him into and when.. thanx a bunch

40 gallons should be good (minimum) if he can stretch thru the entire 20 gallon tank.

yeah he reaches from one end to another when he is fully streched, half his body is in his other hidout before hes out of the other one ... i just wanted to know when i should move him into one, also how how do u think the 40 gal will last me ?

[LadyOhh]

40 gallon or more should be big enough for the rest of his life, as long as you have proper setups.

yeah thats what i was wondering, if i could just get a big one so i wouldnt have to change tanks on him again...im not to sure what the right size would be, but ill deff look into it.. also what do u consider "the right" set up ??
right now i have 2 hides for him a water dish (which i will be upgrading to a bigger one soon) temps are good.. thermo/hydro...UTH... and a tree for him...am i missin anything ??

[LadyOhh]

Not really, just make sure not to crowd things, and you should be fine!

Yeah a 40 gallon will be good for the rest of his life!

Not sure fi I am right but a 40 gallon is good but if he only barely strecthes othe length of the tank then it can be a time for move but balls stay alot fo time in thier hides where they are curled up ina tight ball so why move up to a larger tank if the room is not 100% needed?
