What's the floor dimensions on that tank? You may not need to get a bigger one. My adult female pastel is in a 30 gallon long tank with floor dimensions of 38"x18". The height of the tank is not critical. I had her in a 55 gallon Exo-Terra display case and she was so stressed out even with all the vines and multiple hides. She never did settle well and it was so much trouble maintaining the temps and humidity so I moved her to the 30 and she settled down. I got her as an adult. I didn't try my other ones on the bigger tank, though, just because of my troubles with my first bp so I'm not sure if they would take to it better.

The only thing I'd like to suggest is a tank background. It makes everything look more "pulled together" like the paint and curtains in your room, know what I mean? Check out my avatar. That's Zoo-med naturalistic-looking cork tiles on the background. Besides aesthetics, it is also great at insulating the tank and providing added security.
The tank isn't quite as large as yours. The dimensions are 30inches x 13inches I believe. It's 21 inches or so high, but I know that's not really important. I'll probably just wait until one of the local pet stores has a sale on tanks and I'll pick up a 40 gallon breeder or something. Sometimes people put 50 gallons on craigslist too for pretty cheep, so that could be an option.

Thanks for the recommendation! The background does really make the whole setup come together. I'll probably pick one up this week

I'm planning on following a tutorial that I found on this site for covering screen lids with foil and duct tape. It's suppose to help a lot with humidity and such.
