    A 100x40x50 cm tank is around 190 liters, yes? Which is in the range of 50 gallons (someone correct me if my math is wrong on this lol). That's plenty big for a BP. Most adults don't need anything bigger than 40 gallon, or about 150 liters. They're a ground dwelling species that like to hide in burrows and termite mounds in the wild, and aren't terribly comfortable with open spaces. I know it seems totally opposite what most people would want, right? But bigger isn't always better!

    Absolutely good job getting your temps and humidity dialed in before picking up your snake though, kudos! :gj:

    hey :) , yea 200 l that's 52,8 gallons but here in Austria you have to have at least 1 square meter ground and it must be over 70cm high this could be checked at random as you are obligated to inform the government. Sounds stupid but thery are very strict on keeping certain animals (reptiles,dogs,aso.) so I decided to order a custom built one that fits nicely :) it's a 170x50x70 I know that's very big but I gues I'll just have to put more plants and hides in (correct me if I'm wrong)
