    no need to partition it off (unles you want to keep two hatchlings in there), also no need for a smaller enclosure.


    what makes BPs feel insecure is large open lines of sight, where for example a predator could spot them and attack them from the distance. like a bird of prey or something.

    apart from that, no reason to refuse them a large and luxurious enclosure, if you can provide one. Just add enough hides, fake plants and decoration to break these lines of sight. lots of room for creativity here.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    This is also true. My new hatchling is in a 15, and even that seems a bit big for her, so I just make sure she has plenty of dark holes to hide in and she's good to go. I also have the back, sides, and part of the front blacked out with posterboard, which helps to enclose her space, since she's currently central in my room.
