Big tank

[EvilFourZero]

Hey guys, right now my bp is housed in a 30 gallon. But my cousin is GIVING me his 70 gallon, and I seen in another post about someone down sizing SO what do you guys think? Should I give my bp the 70 gal? I just thought he would like the extra room to move around and such!

I responded in the other thread - if your snake is a baby or juvie, a 70 gallon is way too big for them, and your 30 gallon is perfect for the rest of their life (unless yours ends up being a monster female).


I would not want the challenge of getting the proper temp gradient in a 70 gallon tank, personally.

But hey, maybe you can find another really cool animal to put in that 70 gallon! Sounds like a perfect reason to get another reptile (other than our shy, secretive ball pythons).

yeah I was thinking about how hard it would be for the temperatures. Hes not a baby, hes about 2 years old, and about 2 - 2 1/2 feet long. It just seems that the 30 gallon is getting to small for him.

It may seem like it, but thats a good size for him now.

Big aquariums should be saved for big fish...keep your bp in the 30 and get some african cichlids for the 70 gallon!

Sounds like a good setup for breeding your own rats . . ..
