    New tank setup for biggest BP!

    It is finally done! The 40g breeder tank is setup, tested, and occupied by one very happy female BP.
    I was saving the tank for my other female normal who hates tubs, but since I'm having to rehome her () and my big girl was so cramped even in that 90qt tub...I decided to move her into the tank.






    She has SOO much more room in there, and can finally raise her head up like she loves to do. She weighed in yesterday at an unsure (she wouldn't sit still in the bowl) 2076.

    Whatcha think? Comments? Questions? Criticism?

    Re: New tank setup for biggest BP!

    Yep, that's a 40g breeder - 36x18x16. Hera is probably between 4.5 and 5' long (haven't gotten to measure her in a while) and those hides are ExoTerra XL Reptile Caves. She just fits inside them and seems happy with them.

    I once had an RBI 4x2x1 cage, but I sold it because we needed the money, I didn't have Hera yet, and it took up too much room. One of the biggest issues my BF has with the snakes is the amount of space they take up. That's why I built the system for the corns and the racks for the BPs even though I hate keeping them in cramped tubs. That tank is the largest enclosure I can have, and Ari allows it because he wanted to see Hera more comfortable as well.
