Getting a BCI soon

[Skittles1101]

So if I get a baby then how long can I keep her in a 20 long?

My male is just over a year old, maybe a year and a half and already needs more than a 20 long.

Okay thank you! I'll be switching her to a tub and bringing her home from my father's house after her six month quarantine. What size tub do you recommend? I want to get something a bit bigger that she can grow into

I started mine in a 34 qt.

Okay great. About what age would I need to go to a bigger size than the 34 qt? Or should I say what length that might be easier. What size tub will I need when she is an adult? Do they make anything bigger than the 11" heat tape? If not will I need two feet of heat tape for her adult tub?

I'd say at about 1000 grams you should switch to something bigger. Some enjoy stretching out and relaxing,in that case I'd switch over sooner. All mine does is hide so I kept him in the 34 qt for longer I think 11" is the biggest size flexwatt. Not sure how large the tubs get, just go up the sizes when needed. I'm paying off a PVC enclosure for my guy so hopefully he won't be in tubs much longer.
