I was wondering how big of a cage would a nelson need when its full grown?

I've heard of people housing Nelsoni in a 10gal. but i think a 20gal Long (not high) is better.. they can stay in there 4 life...

Thanx, I like my nelsoni not as squirmy or secretive as Pueblan Milks, and the break out of the Squirminess faster than any milk I've owned. I'm lucky to have some good feeders, but i have had a few that were very picky eaters ... good luck with your Nelsoni

BTW: what do you have (or plan on getting)? Normal or albino? i personally prefer the normals

I plan on getting an albino Male nelson glad to know not as nervous as Pueblans. I like the reg types to but albinos caught my eye.
My next snake after that will be a high white CA king. I guess I prefer white,lighter colors.
