    15 Gallon Aquarium

    not very long. and that's given the fact that your snake is a hatchling. think about upgrading asap.

    Yeah, probably not very long. I currently have a 20 gal tank for my future 4 month old bp, and it looks cramped with just a few hides and a decorative ceramic skull, lol. Can't wait to get him though. Hoping to get some good shots of him slithering through the eye sockets of the skull.

    My adult male does fine in a 40-gallon long tank. He has always been obese, though, since before I got him, and even though I feed him only about twice a month, he is still chubby and therefore does not move around a lot.
    I think that ideally, I'd go with a rubbermaid. They take up a whole lot less space than aquariums, and you can put them one on top of another in a rack system. So that when you inevitably get more Bps, and succomb to the addiction that they are, you'll take up less room.
