OK, I figured out two things: Her name (with a buddy's help), and I have a better idea of her growth rate.

So my friend suggested "Lizzy," which kinda stuck but I made it into Thin Lizzy. Would Mr. Lynott have approved? Hm.

After some more reading, I found out that yearlings can be around 4ft in length. Does that sound too quick to anyone? It would be fine either way, but now I'm wondering what tank to get her and when. I have a 20gl long that I would like to convert into a vertical - I know she's going to be climbing, but that doesn't leave too much floor space for her? Also, I figure she wouldn't be in there for very long if she's reaching ~4ft in a year.

She's maybe 12"+ right now, when should I move her from a shoebox tub to a proper tank? What size? Should I use the 20gl as a long till she outgrows it in a few months?
