Many females are fed A LOT for breeding purposes, so females normally don't get large unless you feed it large food items. Though, you wouldn't want her to get too fat. Females only get massive when fed large food items and given a large enclosure for space to grow. Males can also get pretty large when fed the same way and given a large enclosure.

A 20 gallon enclosure is too small for a fully grown adult BP. Adult BPs will need a 40-55 gallone enclosure. The smallest size you could go would be a 40 gallon enclosure. Also, I think 1 UTH would be just fine.
Sorry, that doesn't make any sense.

Enclosure size has nothing to do with how big they grow. Nothing at all.

a 20g long is perfectly fine for a full grown MALE bp. I would never put a male bp in anything bigger. A full grown FEMALE bp would go in a 30g long, nothing more.

A 55g is the most useless tank for a BP. It is far too tall and has about 10 more square inches of space than a 30g long.
