Welp.. I couldn't help myself..

Alright. I switched them both today :D (I cleaned the tanks real good, I didn't just set them in lol) They're both on a table in my room. I taped some paper to the side of both their tanks facing each other. I didn't know if that'd make a difference, I just thought it'd stress them out a bit having them look at each other :). I'll try to get some pics :D Thank you!

and btw CONGRATS can't believe I forgot to say that, May is so gorgeous! It's no wonder you got her, she's too stunning to ignore!

Sales for the $1 per gallon only goes up to 29gal tanks and the bigger ones are 50% off. They changed it.

Not necessarily true. It's not the size of the space, it's the amount of cover and stuff to hide in or under that is what makes them feel secure or not. I had Dottie in a 40g breeder tank when i got her at 91g and she was fine. Just put in a few hides on the cool and warm sides, some silk vines, smallish PVC piping or small corrugated drain piping or even paper towel tubes although those will get messed up if wet. Anyways, Dottie did fine and ate like a horse. Funny part is i put her in a T10 with a shelf and she did awesome. Then i poached that cage for when i got my retic and put Dottie in a T8 with a shelf. She did horrible and quit eating although I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence being it was winter or if it was the cage. I put her into a T10 after i moved my retic into a T25 and Dottie started eating like a horse again. She pounds medium rats, multiple small rats, pretty much anything anytime now lol.

Personally I wouldnt bother buying a fish tank if you have a choice. Save up and get a PVC cage like an Animal Plastics T8 or T10 with a shelf. Much easier to control humidity plus much more secure and will last the snake its whole life. Fish tanks are for fish or a reptile in a pinch or in quarantine but not for a permanent home.

They aren't cheap but either is keeping reptiles lol. People told me it was cheap.....I've spent over $4000 in just caging alone and that's not counting all the Herpstats and other stuff involved.

She is a beauty! Love her coloring. Congrats!

Aww, she's beautiful! I love her colors, and she has a super cute face!

Congrats! <3
