>>I'm looking to buy a cage for the snake i'm buying at daytona. Is a 40breeder too big? As long as I have plenty of hides.. would it be too big for a baby? Or should i go with a 20L. How long will it take for it to outgrow that?



I'm not an expert like a lot of these guys, but here's my suggestion:

You can pick up a 10gal at Wal-Mart for less than ten bucks. Buy a screen top for it. Keep the snake in that until it grows a little, then put it in the 40gal. OR put it in the 40, and if s/he shows any problems, THEN put it in a cheap tank for a while. You could also get a plastic tub.
