Newbie thinking about getting a BP (this one actually)

As for the size of the dome....that depends on the size of your tank, I would think. A big dome will overheat a small tank...a small dome may not help much in a large tank.

the tank is a 20 long I believe he just said 30" L x 12" W is that big enough?

Hi Chad,
I live in WPB, FL. I have my babies in a rack system. Every few in a plastic tub with a heat pad, water dish, and hide box. Everyone is happy. A lot of ppl up north have to worry a lot more about heating, etc. so they need a lot of equipment to make sure their enclosure is up to par.

Down here, we are pretty good on environment. I had a tank for awhile, wasn't for me because its harder to regulate. Good luck. :-)

thanks for the reply judging by your sig you have quite the collection I'll try out the aquarium I know tubs are easier but aesthetically I like a tank I KNOW I KNOW its about the snake not me he/she will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten

Nothing wrong with keeping her in a tank if you don't mind a little extra effort at keeping the environs even-keeled. And in south Florida, tanks are probably easier to deal with than a lot of other places.

A 20L is probably fine for her. Just not sure what size CHE dome you might want for it. You may have to experiment a bit.

I would eventually have to get a bigger tank though most likely right? something like a 30 breeder?
