Cage sizes

monocledcobra Mar 04, 2004 08:46 PM

I was just wondering if this was suffient?

When my new Irian (I decided to get an Irian) comes home I have a 20 gallon long. Will that be ok until he grows a little. He's about 20''.

When he gets bigger I have a 50 gallon slider (custom made) for until he's full grown

For when he's an adult I have a 75 gallon slider.

Are these sizes ok for baby size to adult size? or do any of you recommend something else?

He might do alright with that much space but be prepared to move ihm into a smaller inclosure if he shows signs of stress or has feeding problems. Carpet youngsters like small, secure caging. A 5-10 gal would be a good size. Make sure you provide at least one hide and a branch no matter what caging you go with.

Either would be sufficiant for him as an adult. It just depends on how much room you can afford. The more the better of course
