Tank too big?

[shorty54]

I'm new to the BP world and I currently have 2 Juvi BP's. Black Pastel 112g and Lesser is 104g. They're currently housed in a 40gal Breeder that is seperated in the middle so they each have their own territory! I'm going to start collecting more BP's and am going to purchase the Boaphile stackable enclosures. I want to get the 36 x 24 x 11.5 size for them. I know that will do fine for them as adults. I'm just curious if I got it for them now would it be too big for them? They also make the one that can be divided, which would cut that in half and make it about the size of what they're in now. I thought about getting that for now but, wasn't sure. I just don't want to stress out my babies! I know those are kind of expensive. But, I want to become a breeder and I feel paying more for quality is well worth it.

I'm pretty sure they'll be fine.... just add more hides if it seems to big... I personally grew my snake in a 60 gallon her whole life since she was a baby, I just added more hides and now she just has 2 hides and still doing pretty well...

I agree to the point of saying they WILL be fine. Hides are the key. Not the tub size.

More hides....is key! Just make sure you fill the tub up a bit so that they feel secure. You can also add a little something for the to climb on as well for a bit. I know they typically are not climbers but when a few of mine were little and in tanks they LOVED to act like GTP's...

Also, does anyone have the Boaphile enclosures? If so, what do you think of them?

Just bumping this to get more insite! Please and thank you!!!! Boaphile enclosures good or bad? Also the original question as well! Would the 36x24x11.5 be too big for my hatchlings?

well i guess that means each gets 20 gallon...in that case its more then fine since i got mine he was living in a 20 gallon and is as healthy as a horse! very active always eats and doesn't seem stressed!

Not sure but the size is about the same as my 40 gal breeder! From the dimensions......
