What might you mean?
Re: New member from Miami.
Hello There! Welcome Aboard! I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, so we're neighbors sort of.
Keep in mind that many on this forum have tons of experience, and love the animals, so when they see something that could be tweaked in a set up, they will offer their advice. And most of the time is good advice. I've learned almost everything I know about BPs on this forum.
You should definitely check out the husbandry section. The BP tank looks a tad big for a baby (looks like a 40 gal breeder? But I could be wrong). You could probably just section it off until your BP grows big enough. But, like Slim suggested, check out the Husbandry section. Believe me, you will learn things on there.
Again, welcome to our community!
Re: New member from Miami.
I agree, hit up the husbandry sections...I found it strange that the bp is the bigger tank...while the boa in what looks like a 20L.
Either way, welcome aboard.
Re: New member from Miami.
The Ball Python started life in my 10 gallon which is now occupied by my leopard gecko.
The ball python roams the large enclosure quite a lot and I like for him to have room, he is probably between 2 and 3 feet long.
The large enclosure is a 75 gallon.
The Red Tail is really a BABY, tiny in comparison to the Ball Python.
The Ball Python probably grew 6-8 inches and about 3 inches in girth in the first three weeks I had him.
Here are some pictures I just took of the snakes. (Pictures suck and don't show the TRUE colors of the snakes)

Re: New member from Miami.
Oh, and Muze. I am in Ft. Lauderdale every so often, I have a few friends up around that area and I go to Towers Shops every once in awhile for the car shows.
Re: New member from Miami.
Yeah, I've seen those shows. I've never actually been to one (just drove around the parking lot), but they look pretty neat.
I was imagining the BP was much smaller. But keep in mind that sometimes they roam around a lot because they are stressed. He looks like he's a really good weight so I imagine you don't have any feeding issues with him. I would still check out the husbandry section as I've found little things to tweak in my set ups a few times.
&, honestly, you'll have members on here give you advice all the time. It really is meant for your BP's welfare (I'm not saying listen to all of it. But there are some very experienced members that know what they are talking about. You'll come across them later on).
