Upgrading Vivariums/Tanks/Cages

[EL Ziggy]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I believe a lot of it has to do with the species and the individual snake. I typically like to provide my snakes with larger enclosures but many of my snakes are ambush predators and really aren't that active until they get hungry. Out of my 4 carpets only the coastal cruises his tank regularly. The other 3 will just perch or plant themselves somewhere until they move to the next spot where they'll perch or plant themselves . My plan is to put the jungles in 4x2s and maybe 6x2s for my coastal and Bredli. I was talking to a highly respected breeder and he says a lot of that will be wasted space and cash. He said it looks nice and makes me feel better but the animal can thrive with less space. I guess it depends on your perspective. I still say better too much than not enough .
