If I do decide to give her a larger tank, should I put her in the new tank when I get there (my new house) or wait a little while to not stress her out too much at one time?
"She is a growing girl" is great but remember that bps really don't require a lot of space. Too much room will definitely stress her. Smaller is a better option. There is a specific dimension [lxwxh ] that is specific for all bps based on age and weight of the animal. However there is a reasonable fluctuation to those measurements and they are more so for owners who want to house their bps in rack systems. So just be reasonable and err on the side of smaller is better. Ball pythons are ambush hunters and enjoy secrecy and hiding. Stay in peace and not pieces. Good luck. A.C.
