general rule is
lenght+width of viv = lenght of snake.
therefore a snake of 25inches should require a viv of 16x10, 12.5x12.5, 18x7 or equivelent.
i think you get the picture. |

| As Daz says, those are the minimum requirements for your snake. However, at 25" it should be ok in a 2' viv now, but maybe a bit small for the 3' viv it will require for adulthood, it depends how many you want to buy during its growth. Hope that makes sense. |

| Also, that's just my opinion, others will say that if you pack a 3' viv full of hiding places then they'll be fine - you'll just never see them again! |

| Angelina is 28" long and is in 36x18x18. I think Randall will be ok for now but id start looking into something bigger so you could maybe move up in a month or two |

a lot of people have been building there own on here. all my 4 are home made.
other than that try ebay, preloved, 888reptiles etc etc
if its 18x14=32 i would start looking now but there is no rush as they are aggrophobic creatures.
i went from starter viv to 3 footer that was packed with stuff but never saw the snake now moved down to a 2x1.5.
all depends on how much cash you wanna spend. |

| I converted an old display cabinet and a kitchen cupboard to make my smaller vivs. Runners and handles are easily picked up from various sites but the glass can be pricey, for a smaller viv I'd go for perspex in hindsight. |
