When to get a larger enclosure?

[Kyleena]

Is there a general weight or length that indicates when to get a bigger enclosure? My girl is about 300 grams and about 2 1/2-3ft long now and in a 20G long tank. I don't believe she's out grown this enclosure yet
Thanks

Ive been told ur enclosur length should be 2/3 ur snakes.

Yeah I've heard the tank should be big enough for the snake to be able to stretch out along 2 sides (ex: side and front). I've also heard 2/3. I've also heard a 20L is enough for a full grown BP. There might not be a cemented answer on that. Personally, I got a 40 gal (from a 20L) just because petco was having their $1/gal sale and I couldn't help myself. If the husbandry is right and the snake seems comfortable, he may be fine in his current setup. If you find he is a little cramped, then that may be a sign too. Wish I could offer a more solidified answer but good luck!

The problem with a 20 gallon isn't the length so much as the width. I like to use something wider. (40 qt tubs for me.) But for the small snake you have it's plenty big.

Id say ur fine for at least another year then switch over to a 40 breeder if ur gonna keep it as a show snake.

Thanks all. I think she is comfortable in there for now. Just trying to plan ahead-she's growing so fast : )
