Yes i agree its a bit large, but its more of hubby's project then mine lol, but i will be helping alot on caring for this. as for age/size of snake, we aren't too sure what we are getting, we will be attending a reptile show a cpl hours from where we live on Sat.
I guess we are trying to recreate "natural environment" for it, i know i may get told alot of different things from ppl on this forum, but i also know its really all about personal prefrence and that person's success, but after reading so much on this foum and researching the internet it all boils down to what works best for u and your snake. so it will be trial and error just like it is raising kids and other pets
