    Changing Tanks
    Hi,

    My 8 month old BP (approximately) is in a 10 gallon tank and I was wondering if I should make the change to a bigger one yet? He is getting bigger, around 2 to 2 and a half feet now but i don't want to get a bigger tank and stress him out :(

    Help PLEASE.

    He looks fine for that tank. I would get him a hide that makes him feel more secure though, that hide seems to have a big opening.

    Looks like a comfy size for him still. :gj: What size aquarium are you planning to get? He'll probably be fine with it stess-wise, especially if he's already eating eagerly. If you're really worried about him being stressed by a larger tank, you could go with a tub-like enclosure instead. You can make them look very natural. They're way less expensive and not nearly as heavy as fish tanks.

    Good luck.

    x2 on the tub setup. I have mine in a tub and I LOVE it. So easy to move, and holds in humidity like a beast.
