The rescue looks to be around 3 feet. so lets call it 36". I thought the rule of thumb was L + W of tank>L of snake. If that is true, then those two numbers would be equal, or pretty close to it. With that said, would it be better to get the bigger tank set-up to save the hassle of having to set-up pretty soon as the snake outgrows the other enclosure? Also, because the bigger tank is 6" higher, humidity will probably be more of an issue, so I am a little worried about putting the new snake in the smaller tank, then getting the big one set-up quick enough(I would be using the same UTH, hides, etc)
I guess my question is, since the snake is probably going to outgrown the smaller tank quickly, should I just step it up to the slightly bigger one now so I dont have to deal with 2 tank set-ups.
Btw, we are pretty sure it is a boy now. The tail shape and very prominent spurs.
Also, where is the best place to get uth, hides, water bowl etc. I didnt know if petco/regular petstore was okay, or if there are better brands or cheaper prices online.
