future housing requirments

Depending on a lot of factors (feeding amounts, schedule, health issues, etc), many BP's will be adult size within 2 years or so. A 30 gallon aquarium would be adequate for an adult, although I prefer to give my adults a little more floorspace than that, but I use rubbermaids/sterilites too.

Well I'd hope he wouldn't do that knowing there was a snake in the rubbermaid.

Sounds like you may be right, unless you use a clearly see-through plastic container and secure it with bungee cords and slap his hands every time he goes near it. ;)

I keep my bp in a 30 gal. He seems happy.........he's only about 7 or 8 months old, though. I have to agree with Rplank that a little bit more floor space may be required as his hides and water dish don't leave much roamin room.

they get about full grown in 2-3 yrs. I'm actually purchasing this cage (item #T3) from Animal Plastics http://animalshare.wantapet.com/anim...ics/index.html
they even route the heat right into the cage itself and they have great customer service.
