I have read half a dozen care sheets. I even bought a cheepo book. I have not found any advice about when it is time to change the size of the hides or the size of the living space for a BP.

This is important to me because I live in a SMALL appartment. Many of you are aware that I bought an 18x18x18 terrarium. I figure that it will hold a single BP to a size of 30". I may be wrong, but I have read that BPs grow about a foot a year for their first three years. This means that I can use my setup for about two years.

How do I know when the tank is too small, other than just measuring Fluffy. Will the snake give a signal that it is cramped?

I do plan on buying a larger tank. I will either get the Critter Cage 20 long (30x12x12)or the 30 breeder(36x18x12).

I would prefer to get the 30 breeder, but I don't have 36" of space anywhere in the appt that I can put it without doing a major redecoration (moving large bookcases). So I need to know about how much time I have to do the recreation of my living room.

Any advice is always welcome.

Thanks, Akiva.
