    Re: Enclosure Question (from a Newbie)

    That is corect you can put a small snake in a large enclosure if you do it correctly. LOTS of stuff for them to hide in and around several peices of drift wood and plants for them to be under and in. But this set up is a nightmare to clean and maintain so the easiest and best for the snake is a small tub or tanks with 2 hides and just a few items for your pleasure. In the wild baby snakes are food for other snakes so if you don't get the large enclosure correct then your snake may not eat, have dificult shed, and develop RI or other problems due to the stress. This is why most people, myself included recomend small enclosures for smaller snakes and work your way up. Tubs are cheap and at worst you can just use the lid for the tub in a larger rack and place the smaller tub partially on the heat source until the advance to the larger tubs. Hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions
