How big are Hogs when they are born?

I've never seen one in person let alone a baby. How long are they on average at birth? I hope to be getting a 2 month old soon and am trying to determine the dimensions for a quarantine tub that will last until about 5 months of age. But not having any idea how big they are at birth, let alone at 5 months of age I'm not sure what dimension tub I should be looking for.

Thank you!

LOL. Never seen one of those either. Most snakes I've seen in person have either been adults or have been 1-2 years old...I've seen some a little younger. But I've never seen a 1-2 month old of any species. So I'm at a loss as to how big of a tub will last a male Hog up to 5 months of age.

Thank you both very much! You've both been very helpful.

That pic gives me a great idea of what to expect - thank you.
