Well, the best thing is to get two smaller similar hides that she can fit into. If your tank cannot really hold the two hides, I suggest getting a 40 or 55 gallon enclosure. A 4 foot snake would seem kind of large for a 29 gallon enclosure, wouldn't it? I have a Kingsnake that is a little over 4 feet long and he fits perfectly in a 40 gallon enclosure.

I know my hides aren't identicle, but my bp doesn't care, he uses them both regularly.

Sorry for the quality.

Beautiful snake, and I see how the two hides are definitely a good thing.. I am going to be getting a 40gal next pay check if not the pay check after that. I fell in love with the exo terra caves... so I am probably gonna get two of them for hides. And I'm going to get a more rock-ish looking water dish. Some moss and all that.

And my Vesta is almost done shedding so I shall be posting pictures up soon! WOOT.

Thanks, mucho guys. You all got me thinking and I'm definitely going to have a perfect set up once I'm done. My snake is my life right now. Suffering a bad break, where the ex wants "his" snake, when he would never have the money to take care of her, unless he took from his CAR fund. I told him no and I'm keeping the snake. YAY.

So when I upgrade I know I have to change the UTH to the one specified for the 40gal. Do I have to up bulb wattage? I know we sell a tank with a lid that slides on and I can get a combo lock for it to make sure she doesn't get out. The two hides will be coming from exo-terra, but should I just get the large or x-large for her... I don't know if we sell the caves at my store to compare her with. I saw the carry-on on the site that I wanted to I'm happy about that.

I would get a 30gallon breeder. Same size as 40, but just shorter. Less air space to heat and humidify.

OR you can just save up money and get an Animal Plastics or RBI enclosure. Would look a whole lot better than the tank and be better insulated. Be sure to get a nice digital thermostat too so you can be sure the snake won't get burned by an uncontrolled heat source.

What are animal plastics... or rbi enclosures?

Alright so how does setting up the heating for these RBI tanks work because if I save up and get one.... I need to know how it all works.
