Hi,
A buddy of mine is looking to get a JCP. He wants to know what is better to house them in? Rubbermaids or a tank?
He wants a tank because it's a better display, and he was wondering how well they do in tanks? Is it easy to keep the temps and humididty correct? He has a 30 gallon high, and a 25 gallon, which would be better for a young JCP? He wouldn't keep it in the tank it's whole life, as he's planning on building a homemade enclosure for it.
He also wants to know their attitude. I've read that they can be nippy, but they calm down with age, is this correct? Also are they a good handling snake?
Last, but not least, what is the average size for a full grown male? 5 feet? And what size enclosure would you need for a full grown one?
Thanks,
Mat
