    the tank is a 20 long I believe he just said 30" L x 12" W is that big enough?

    Down here, we are pretty good on environment. I had a tank for awhile, wasn't for me because its harder to regulate. Good luck. :-)

    thanks for the reply judging by your sig you have quite the collection:cool: I'll try out the aquarium I know tubs are easier but aesthetically I like a tank I KNOW I KNOW its about the snake not me:oops: he/she will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten;)

    Nothing wrong with keeping her in a tank if you don't mind a little extra effort at keeping the environs even-keeled. And in south Florida, tanks are probably easier to deal with than a lot of other places.

    A 20L is probably fine for her. Just not sure what size CHE dome you might want for it. You may have to experiment a bit.

    I would eventually have to get a bigger tank though most likely right? something like a 30 breeder?
