    Re: Bp Enclosure question.

    You came here for advise, and now that you have it, you insist on not taking it. Sorry, but we've all seen this story here before. If your BP set up is for your pleasure, and not the snake's comfort and security, you should be keeping corn snakes. You may want to open up a Word Doc and get a jump start on writing up your, "My Snakes Won't Eat" thread. It'll save you some time in the future. Sorry, but the question of housing BPs together in the same enclosure comes up almost weekly, and it's just not a good idea.

    You are making a very bad choice. Please see my response to DaPyro above.

    Now, you are making a very good choice.

    Unless you have a big female, a 20 Gal long will be plenty big enough, and please remember your BP won't be full grown for several years.

    Then you really shouldn't be getting a second BP. Concentrate on the one you have and provide it with the best husbandry you can. Dude, take it from an old man, you're 16, you have a whole lifetime to get more snakes.
