If you are starting out with a hatchling, you won't need anything larger than a 28 qt. tub for at least a couple of years... 28 qt. is even technically too large for hatchlings and juveniles, but I consumed all of the extra space with wadded up newspaper when mine were still little and they were fine. I still have a 2015 female Blood comfortably in my 28 qt. rack. She will be getting bumped up into a 41 qt. rack within the next year, though. As far as PVC enclosures, I will be building all of my own when the time comes... I highly recommend newspaper (or craft paper) over any substrate for any snake. It's much more sanitary, easier to clean, no risk of the snakes swallowing substrate and developing major digestive problems and... It's basically FREE! lol

As far as breeders, I would recommend ME in the future... lol But, that's probably still going to be a couple more years, unfortunately... As for now, I would recommend Reptillis Herps or Reptile Rapture...

Have you decided on a Blood, Borneo or Sumatran ("Black Blood") yet?
