Thanks for the great advice! I believe I will be picking up the enclosure in early August but I won't move him in until I see that he needs the extra space as it is a big moveOriginally Posted by Bogertophis
Your temporary cage sounds fine to me too, as does your eventual large enclosure. You truly don't need to rush the larger enclosure...you might hold off
for a year or more...he's not going to grow huge overnight & a 4' will work for at least that long, maybe longer (based on the one BCI I've kept).
Good choice starting with a yearling...that's what mine was. You've got plenty of time watching him grow, but he's past the first year so he's stronger & more
resilient. You shouldn't have feeding issues like with BPs, but do ask the seller what specifically he's been taking (mice or rats, live or fresh-kill or f/t), as it just
makes it easier to know, & less stress for the snake to have things that are familiar. A new home is scary enough for a snake.
Oh, and
