| Its about fitting the enclosure to each individual snake. As a guide the length of the snake should be no longer than the length and depth of the enclosure (Vivarium/RUB/Faun). So a 2 foot by 1 foot vivarium for example would be ideal for a three foot snake. A lot depends on the snake though, if its an adventerous explorer they are more likley to do well in a bigger enclosure than a shy hiding snake. |

| Or just go for a big one and keep it sectioned off - it shouldn't take much DIY skill to put a partition in, and then just move it as the snake gets bigger |

Why pay for several different viv's, given that hopefully yr snake will be with you for years and years. + then u you only need to buy additional decoration  |
