    So, space to move aside as it seems apparent they dont need any, how do you fit even the bare minimums in such a small enclosure for a full grown BP?

    It's easy. If you buy all the "natural" looking stuff from pet stores, they are usually awkward shapes and don't fit very well. Using plastic bowls, kitty litter pans, Reptile Basics hides, etc and cat/dog water bowls, it all fits in. Plus, if you have a tub, you don't need nearly as much stuff cluttering up the open space.

    This is my 41qt tub, which has the same floor space as a 20L tank.

    While she's not yet full grown, she's about as long as she can get. She fits fine in the tub.

    yes, I will be upgrading soon but the new tank will be almost the same size, just different floor space.

    current tank: 29 gal. 30"L X 12"W X 17"H

    new tank: 30 gal. 36"L X 18"W X 12"H
