Rapidly growing BP in a 20L
Hey guys,
I haven't been on here in a very long time, but I have a few questions/comments/concerns so keep an eye out for my posts. I still just have one BP, and he currently lives in a 20L tank. My question is when should I move him to a larger tank? He is roughly 30" long, and has some pretty good girth to him.
I've read that the rule of thumb is that the length and width of the tank combined should be longer than the snake. Is this a pretty good rule to follow? I'm just curious because he has outgrown his hides, and there isn't much room to make them much bigger.

No need, a 20 gal will suit him for most if not the rest of his life.

When I wrote "20L" I meant a 20 gallon long tank.

What kind of signs would tell me he is cramped?

Yep, thats the same light bulb that provoked me to write this post. He has definitely outgrown his hides, and when I replace them with larger ones there won't be enough room for both hides, the water dish, and the ONE piece of wood that is in there.
I stumbled upon a very large aquarium for free. I think it is at least a 50g. Would have too large of a tank cause any major problems?
