my bp is about a foot and a half long. is it ok for him to be in a 30 gallon tank already?
In my opinion, I think the 30gal is a bit on the big side. You can do 2 things - put a divider to use only half the tank, or jam pack the whole place up with decor so that there's hardly any open spaces. I was very successful in putting a bp that same size (who was on a hunger strike before I bought her) in a 10-gallon jam-packed with stuff. She stopped cruising after 2 hours and she ate 3 days later!
---------------------------------- BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.
0.1.0 pastel bp
1.0.0 spider bp
0.1.0 albino bp
1.0.0 bumblebee bp
1.0.0 yellowbelly bp
0.0.1 normal bp
1.0.0 normal western hognose
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Also agree with the earlier posts. It's too large for that small of a snake and if it's too large with it being completely open, then stress can set in.
Success is just one decision, one commitment and a whole lot of hard work away…
