Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm hoping to be more active again soon.

Anyway, I just moved all my snakes up to bigger cages. My two younger BPs went to 32 qt tubs and my adult to a 60 qt. I also have another 60 qt and a 4x1x2 glass aquarium, which will be holding my carpet and my redtail. I'm just not sure which to put in which.

First of all, I know that won't hold the boa for her entire life. This would be temporary. I'd like to put the carpet in the aquarium because, before I had her in a tub, she was very fond of climbing, so she'd love to have that height again. But, she's also quite aggressive and a talented escape artist with screen lids. She escaped her previous aquarium twice, but hasn't escaped her tub once, and I like having that extra room to dodge her strikes. She's bitten me before and frankly, I'd like to keep it from happening again.

But, my boa is starting to become...not aggressive, but nervous. I know this is because I haven't been handling her as much as I should, but she also doesn't much like me going in vertically. She's in an aquarium now that's only slightly shorter (I wanna say 18 in?), and if I want to avoid getting bitten, I have to inch my hand toward her slowly and then pet her sides for a few minutes before gently lifting her out. I think if I were to put her in a bin, she might calm down considerably.....but I really don't like the idea of having the carpet in a confined space XD

I would go get another 60 qt tub, but I can't get rid of this aquarium, and as long as it's here, I don't have room for another big tub. Thoughts?
