50gallon octagon...

[JimiSnakes]

Is a Fifty gallon octagon tank good for any kind of snake? I'm curious because I just had one given to me for free and was wondering if I could put it to any use. The reason I'm relunctant to put a snake in it is that there wouldn't be any cool side to it and the ambient temps might be hard to control.

Hm.. if it's tall and wide enough, perhaps a tree snake of some sort.

well i dont know what the dimensions are but i'm think'n green tree python ot emerald tree boa

[Shelby]

It's probably fairly small.. maybe more like an amazon tree boa.

[JimiSnakes]

Three feet by four and half feet. I was thinking maybe a BRB. What do you think?

[Shelby]

BRBs are much more terrestrial than something like an amazon tree boa. I wouldn't use it for a BRB. Is it three feet long, or tall?

[JimiSnakes]

long and the other tall

[Shelby]

Yeah that wouldn't be ideal for a BRB in my opinion. They grow fairly long, so something actually longer than 3' would be ideal, and not nearly so tall as that.

[JimiSnakes]

Well then. There goes one idea. I was thinking of just using it for an excercise tank. I don't really want a tree boa or python. I was tagged by one of them once and it wasn't pretty. Ouch!!!
