Hello everyone! Its my first post and i just joined. I am picking up a baby BP this weekend from a breeder for 20$. Male's are 20 females 30 so i decided that a smaller one would be better and cheaper. So, i picked up a male.

I asked if a ten gallon aquarium tank would be good enough now and the breeder said it would be. My question is, how fast will it ourgrow this tank? I dont want to keep the snake in this tank when it gets big, i plan on moving to a 55 gal. Right now i can get a ten gal for free because i used to have a garder snake in it.

How fast will it out grow the tank?

Whats the a decent heat pad i can use [under tank] that i can feel safe leaving on 24/7 while im not home?

Thanks!!
