Measure the tank you have and if it's not far off from that, assume you can keep your BP in there a lot longer. I believe some people house males or conservatively fed females in 20g tanks their whole life.

It sounds like you should definitely upgrade the hides now. I use the medium size hide from 200-900 grams or so.

Thanks for the measurements- that's definitely helpful.

And yes, Im sure you are right about upgrading the hide- even though its entertaining to me, I dont want to stress
her out by having something too small :)

My male is in there. He's about 1000g.

What's nice about the t8 is you can buy a divider. So you could move the divider as your Bp grows
