Exo-Terra 18x18x18 Terrarium

EchoRomeo Nov 19, 2009 02:04 PM

Hey everyone,

I've been wanting to pick up a JCP for a while now and since I'm going to the Hamburg show on Dec. 5th, I figured I'd get one there.

my question is, can I house a juvenile JCP in an 18x18x18 Exo-Terra Terrarium?

Thanks,
Erik

I'm not sure what you mean by juvinle in regards to size. A JCP that is 1 to 2 years old does fine in a 10 gallon aquarium. They actually perfer small housing. There is a long time running rule of measurement for snakes in regards to enclosures: 1.5 times the snakes length, of course this is species generic. If your into providing nature for your captive snake, no enclosure is too big!
