    Re: I'm Falling In Love :)

    A big tank may be unnecessary, but really it's up to you. Yes, they tend to be more comfortable being able to hide and whatnot. But I keep my big female in a 75g aquarium I got off a friend. Yes, it's huge. But she can stretch out completely, and has plenty of places to hide, and some climbing spots. That too is unnecessary as they are mainly ground dwelling, but she seems to enjoy having something to climb on once and a while. It all depends on how you have your setup, and what works better for you. The most important thing is that the snake feels comfortable. She rarely comes out of her hides, but it works for me. It was a good deal and I took it. Heating it and keeping the humidity up are a royal pain, but I manage. I also cover it with towels, which helps. Regardless, I'm talking about a full grown female with whom I could do arm curls. Lol!

    For a young BP, if you're going to go with what you know (glass aquariums), a hatchling would be happy in a 10g, and a sub-adult to adult would be happy in a 20L. However, depending on how you do up the 50g, they could be happy in there as well. It's just an unnecessary waste of space really. I also have a Dumeril boa baby...so that big tank may become her home in a couple years.
