    40 gallons should be good (minimum) if he can stretch thru the entire 20 gallon tank.

    yeah he reaches from one end to another when he is fully streched, half his body is in his other hidout before hes out of the other one :P... i just wanted to know when i should move him into one, also how how do u think the 40 gal will last me ?

    40 gallon or more should be big enough for the rest of his life, as long as you have proper setups.

    Not really, just make sure not to crowd things, and you should be fine!

    Re: wondering when
    Not sure fi I am right but a 40 gallon is good but if he only barely strecthes othe length of the tank then it can be a time for move but balls stay alot fo time in thier hides where they are curled up ina tight ball so why move up to a larger tank if the room is not 100% needed?
