For an adult female you are looking at 20 gallons which is sufficient for most animal 30 gallons I can see that for a 500 to 700 grams female which is on the large end when it comes to size.I'm thinking of a 24x24x12 one (30 gallon I think), would that be sufficient for an adult? The cage makers here only offer 24' and 48' long ones for some reason, and I know for sure that 48' is overkill for a hognose. If I have to, I'll of course be willing to start out with tubs or whatever else (which I'll also need advice on setting up).
Ugh, that's the thing. Ideally I want an older established female, but I don't know if that'll pan out as the selection here seems pretty limited. This is my first time purchasing an animal and I'm not sure how to go about getting exactly what I'm looking for.
If you get an hatchling or Juvy you are looking at 2 to 3 years depending on feeding regimen before the animal is the right size (200 grams) to move in something that big.
