hi guys not been on in a while due to work and recently helping the father in law do work to his house as he rents it out and his last tenants have completely trashed it, but hey that's another story.
what im here for is a little bit of advice ( by those that know :D ), recently bought Jake a Viv for when he is ready to go into it, bought from the pet shop i bought him from, i was told that the viv i have bought will last him his lifetime by the wife of the shop owner ( im not so sure from reading posts and forums etc ) as there will only be him inside it.
the measurements for the viv is :-
34" length
19.5" depth
17" height
so the viv is only a few inches short off 3ft in length. WILL THIS BE OK FOR JAKE THE SNAKE ?.
if its a case of needing to get 1 a little bit bigger iv had permission from the wife that i can set up a project in building 1 that will be a sufficient size and i'll also be able to put more of a decor inside it for him as well.
2nd bit of advice im after is, jake's just passed a year old and measured 30" in October when he last shed, his sheds aren't on a regular date, 1 month here, another month there lol, at what size would i be advised to put him in this Viv i have bought so he can be kept in there, or if a bigger 1 is possibly needed in the future then a home built 1 will be made for him.
At somepoint i will get round to taking a few pictures of the little fella so that somebody can tell me if he is ok in health and if his size is right for his age etc. sorry for so many Q's but id rather ask and be told straight than leave it and let him suffer !.
cheers

| That size viv will be fine for him and at 30" long he should be able to go in it now without any issues |

| That size will be good for life (as long as he doesn't turn out to be absolutely huge) I will be keeping my corns in 3' x 15" x 15" and will not be moving them to bigger enclosures |
