Basically, when is my snakey ready to move out of her faunarium and into her vivarium? She is about 50cm long and still in the faunarium I bought for her as a starter. Now her 3 foot vivarium is completely decorated, guards in place, stat attached, everything done.. But I've become hesitant of moving her. I don't want to rush the move if she isn't going to be ready. I do have LOADS of plants in it, around 4 caves and coconut shell hides in and a really long piece of cork bark in as a hide all in it. However, it's still a lot bigger than a faun. I just don't fancy rushing it or somehow helping her to escape (I've read about snakes getting through the partition on the glass panels) cheers for any help

All mine were in their final vivs at 9 months, never had a problem with them, in fact they are out and about far more often. Plenty of hides is the key

Mine was in a 2 and half foot viv from being 7 months old, I just packed it up with hides and vines and then have removed some as she has got older. You will be fine, its fun to watch them exploring their new homes :)
