She's actually a pretty good size for a 2 year old......

The best thing to do is increase your enclosure size as it grows......Instead of trying to guess how big it will be in the future......

I was just curious. Apparently she covers 2/3 of the perimeter of the enclosure. She girl doesn't know the size of the enclosure, but doing the math, if she's 36 inches, that should be 50% of the 72-inch perimeter of the enclosure if it's a 20 high. So I guess it's a 15 gallon.

If you are ever worried an enclosure is too big just add more decor/plants/rocks ect. Take up some of the space and your snake will be fine.

Nah, I'm not too concerned. Figure I could just do that if the extra size is a bit of a shock to her.

Anyone know what a decent price for a 30 gallon would be? Someone's trying to sell me one used for $100, which seems high. I'm pretty sure they retail for less than that, but there aren't many available online (due to shipping), so it's hard to compare.

That seems really high. A dollar a gallon is about average for a used tank here.

Any idea what they retail for? And I'm definitely not paying $100 for a used 30 gallon.

They retail around $2 a gallon.
