So for years I've thought that I wanted a piebald as my next snake (when I could afford it of course - pieds remain above what I am willing to spend on a pet - housing not included) but at the recent show I went to I actually got to see a bunch of them of all ages in person - and found a morph that I never thought about and now would rather have as my final snake. An Ivory. I always figured that they were basically like a BEL complex - which I don't really like. But there were several adults (5-8 years) that still had their grey heads, yellowish eye-lines, and faint yellow patterns. The eyes are described as blue, but you have to look close - I think that they are absolutely stunning - so that's what I've settled on.
Now to the question: My 2 year old male is 1060g an in a T11 which at the point is a perfect size for him (unless he gets huge -lol), but as I am looking to get a female and they are bigger than males, would a T11 also suffice or would they eventually out grow it (I'm thinking T25 for my planned space)?
Also do most females stay on small rats or do they usually up grade to mediums?
*I have no intention of breeding*
I know that many people think a T8 is fine, but I like to have 3 to 4 hides, large river rocks, natural branches, and I use a 10" pyrex pie dish as a water bowl. I would like an enclosure that could fit all of this but at large female size (I am assuming she would need bigger hides as an adult due to girth). I know this is premature, but I like to have a plan and savings budget all in place as well as all questions out of the way BEFORE getting the snake.
No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
