40 gallon breeder for a adult honduran

[athms]

I just bought one is it big enough. My honduran is 18-19 inches when can i put him in it

You can put him in anytime you want. The smaller he is the more cover you will need.

Substrate to burrow in, multiple hides. Some foliage, plants...etc. Also cover all sides but the front to reduce visual traffic.

I'd also cover 4/5th's of the screen top to retain heat and humidity.

Do you have a thermostat to control the heat source? What heat source are you using?

What thermometers are you using to monitor temperature?

This may be a dumb question but do u know anything about pixie frogs

Okay I'm guessing you don't know what a thermostat is.

Thermostats and thermometers are not the same thing.

A thermostat is a device used to control the heat source. You need one so that your heat source doesn't overheat the enclosure.

A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. You also need this to monitor the conditions in your enclosure.


A 10 gallon heat mat is too small for a 40 gallon tank. Go out and get one appropriate for your setup. It should cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the floor space.

Some people including big name breeders might say yes. Personally, for a snake that could potentially grow to 6ft give or take, I'd say it's a bit small.

However a 40 gallon should last you years if you decide to provide more for your adult snake later on.

Sounds like a great idea. I'd buy a helix thermostat from LLLreptile while you are at it. No excuses, you need a thermostat.

edit: if you are on a budget I'd recommend getting a hydrofarm from amazon.com
