New Member... Questions Before I Get My First BP

[predatorkeeper87]

The tubs are good, I like that option as well... however, I want a nice "display" to show off the snake. If I eventually get more snakes, the tubs are an option, but for the first set up the display tank is enticing. In terms of the adult requirements, the 41qt tub, which you say is good for the BP's adult life, is it the footprint size of the tub that's good? What the dimensions of the tub? Just curious.

If you want a display snake...a BP isn't what you want lol. They hide, 24/7. I only see mine if I move their hides lol.

Theres a bunch of debate on the size and footprint for a bp but ultimately mine never climbed when they had taller enclosures so I opted to put them in a rack system with 41 qt tubs. They have room to move around, and they feed on the regular so to me that tells me they are happy.

I prefer floor space to head height for BPs.

I come from the aquarium hobby too, and I can tell you displaying snakes just doesn't have the appeal like big fish. I love just having the snakes and know they are thriving in my care, don't mind not having them on display.
