I understand they must be respected, i understand the requirements, and i understand the income they require (just a few needs) I've done my research, I've read so much information. I've been sitting in-front of my computer for almost 16 hours straight now. This snake i rescued is about 9 ft and seems to be a nice healthy weight. but has mites and an RI infection. He is scheduled for a vet visit tomorrow morning. However my concern is the housing i currently have him in. I was on the spot to take him or leave him there to suffer and more than likely die, so i obviously took him and i IMMEDIATELY took him to my home and put him in the biggest enclosure i own. (its 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. Not sure on height but seems about medium. is this okay for him for the time being? i needed to spend the rest of this months check on his other things he requires. heat mat, rheostat, tank thermometer and etc etc. So i wont be able to get him a cage for about 2-3 weeks :[ but either way the tank i have him in now is FAR larger than the previous thunder:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: that mistreated this animal. he was in like a 3 x 2 x 2!!!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. In the end i know i can take care and provide for this magnificent being as I've done research and know what has to be done, my question is how long can i keep him in this 5 long 2 wide 3 high enclosure? Hes also quite aggressive (which is understandable due to the previous living conditions and mistreatment) but im also very willing to take a few bites.
