In my opinion, I think the 30gal is a bit on the big side. You can do 2 things - put a divider to use only half the tank, or jam pack the whole place up with decor so that there's hardly any open spaces. I was very successful in putting a bp that same size (who was on a hunger strike before I bought her) in a 10-gallon jam-packed with stuff. She stopped cruising after 2 hours and she ate 3 days later!

I agree with the above post. The tank seems a little big, but will be perfect once he gets a little bigger.

Also agree with the earlier posts. It's too large for that small of a snake and if it's too large with it being completely open, then stress can set in.
