Hello!
I'm new here but I've been stalking the forum for a bit now. I don't have a BP yet but plan on getting one. I owned a couple of corns years ago and had become rusty in basic snake care. I'm glad I found the forum because I guess I partially assumed that BP care was going to be the same as it was for the corns I used to own. It is similar but not exact.
My plans are to own only 1 in a display style glass tank set up with 3 sides blacked out with PlastiDip. I wanted to do a custom 3D background similar to what I had once done for a Cichlid tank using styrofoam covered in quikcrete sealed in epoxy. Although, instead of carving out styrofoam I thought of using the insulating expanding foam called Great Stuff by Dow to aide in better heat retention in the glass tank. They have a version that is safe to use in ponds that house fish. I already have a 20L tank but after the addition of the foam on the back and 2 sides, I figured it would be too small for an adult BP. I'm interested in the final tank size I would need because of the level of detail investment I will be putting in. The set up is a large part of the joy for me. Depending on the age and size of the BP I decided to get, I will either be sectioning off part of the enclosure/ adding a lot of coverage with hides and foliage or having a smaller simple set up in the interim.
Does anyone have any experience with expanding foam in regards to use in reptile enclosures?
Would a 40G tank be better suited? Larger?
