I agree baby snakes seem to do better in smaller enclosiers untill they get used to their way of life and develope a good appetite. However, when ever you finally decide to put him in the larger tank, please make sure the top is escape proof. I can't tell you how many people I know who have had their snakes escape from Aquariums! The lids often sold in pet stores as reptile tops, are not snake proof. You must inspect the entire perimeter of the top and there can be absolutely no play. Snakes can squeeze thru the smallest of cracks, and can lift heavy weights placed on the top. I usually make my own tops whenever I use Glass tanks, but you can secure most loose lids with weatherproofing insulation. It must be almost airtight. Good luck!
