50gallon octagon...

Is a Fifty gallon octagon tank good for any kind of snake? I'm curious because I just had one given to me for free and was wondering if I could put it to any use. The reason I'm relunctant to put a snake in it is that there wouldn't be any cool side to it and the ambient temps might be hard to control.

Hm.. if it's tall and wide enough, perhaps a tree snake of some sort.

well i dont know what the dimensions are but i'm think'n green tree python ot emerald tree boa

It's probably fairly small.. maybe more like an amazon tree boa.

Three feet by four and half feet. I was thinking maybe a BRB. What do you think?

BRBs are much more terrestrial than something like an amazon tree boa. I wouldn't use it for a BRB. Is it three feet long, or tall?

long and the other tall

Yeah that wouldn't be ideal for a BRB in my opinion. They grow fairly long, so something actually longer than 3' would be ideal, and not nearly so tall as that.

Well then. There goes one idea. I was thinking of just using it for an excercise tank. I don't really want a tree boa or python. I was tagged by one of them once and it wasn't pretty. Ouch!!!

I don't really know too much on them, but I did a google and they seem really small. Wouldn't that size tank be too big for them? Maybe 9-10 of them would be cool in that big tank? I am going to close off the top of it and take one side of the glass out to put a screen door in for easier cleaning, so feeding them wouldn't be too hard. I'd hate to reach all the way down in that thing to feed and water anything daily.
