What age do people think is ok to move a snake into a large 4ft Viv.
My Snake is only 3 months old and am in no rush to move him but wondered when I had to start thinking about it 
Thanks

| its not age specific its size that determines upgrade of housing, usually when snakes length = width + length of housing its time to upgrade. |

| will be a long long time before your snake will, if at all, need a 4ft viv. some corns dont enjoy the available space and some do but generally unless your corn is a giant it will do fine, as an adult, in a 3ft viv, again its a while away. |

so if my corn is the length of two sides of his faunarium then he needs a bigger home? |

| ok will have a look into it he seems happy enough at the moment where he is and think he would get lost in a 3 foot viv, when i purchased him they said it would be 18 months before i had to upgrade |
