    Moving tanks around need some advice.
    I have 3 tanks in use and one extra, A 40 Breeder, a 20 long, a 20 tall and a 10 long. I am just wondering how you guys would use these to give the best environment to each of my Herps. Currently i have my 2 Crested Geckos in my 40 Breeder, however they do not seem to use the entirety of it and i think the size might even be overwhelming for them, i have set up a camera even during the night while i am asleep they still only roam the one half of the tank. I also have a Ball Python, who i really want to know what to do with, he is currently in a 20 long, and he is growing rapidly haha. I also have a 4 month old Carpet Python, he is in the 10 Tall atm. I am wondering how you guys would arrange these. i would like to put my Ball Python in the 40 Breeder, however the 20 long is about the same length so its not like it will make much difference for him since he does not climb, so my second thought was to put my Carpet python in the 40 breeder as he will need that tank when he becomes larger anyway, however idk if he is still too small for that enclosure. he is currently 38in long.

    Thanks in advance for a quick responses.

    Id do as you said, 40 gal for Carpet which is long and higher for something to crawl on and the 20 long for the Ball...
    I like the 30 and 33 Longs. 48x13x13
    If you can go 48" L for both the snake enclosures that would be perfect to grow into. Keep a eye on Craigslist for a one and mybe sell one of your is you dont need it after.

    I'm definitely no expert so excuse me if I'm wrong, but aren't young carpets rather aboreal? Perhaps the 40 breeder would be too large horizontally, without offering enough climbing space. How long is the baby?

    They are semi...they grow quickly though too, my freinds carpet is 11'....almost as long as my burm.. Not as thick but he takes up 3/4 of the 48" enclosure length when he is laying around chillin. I like 48", with these larger breeds i find when they are young a bigger tank with a hide and things to climb on is good then later they dont want the hide and you can still use the bigger enclosure.. My 2 cents :D
