It's kinda difficult to offer too much advice at this stage and people's opinions on Viv / tank sizes differ so much .Originally Posted by EvilKitty
So I learned a few days ago that the size of the tank matters. Because if it is to big the snake will get stressed. I had already bought some things and wanted to know if an extra large hide is to big for a snake of 500 grams? And if so what size should I get?
Also what size bowl? I was told it had to be big enough for the snake to fit it's whole body in is that true? And a big bowl helps with humility so should I get a smaller one?
This is how my tank set up will look but I will be adding more plants.

I actually rather like bigger vivs as long as there are plenty of hiding places / quiet corners . That can be done easily with a two or more hides and loads of branches and pieces of dried bark . Sadly those two hides you've got there are far from ideal as they're both open- ended which offer very little security . I'd get two or three snake hides ( one opening) .
It's ideal time to make sure you get the basics bought though ... not sure what kind of heater you're going for but a thermostat is VITAL even though many shops will not mention them or say they're not required . They are .
Also get a couple of thermometers with wired probes and even a digital temp gun ( £10 off eBay) .
