Cyrus is currently in a komodo plastic faun (the 48cm one) would i be able to put him straight into a 3ft viv once hes too big for the faun hes currently 17-18 inch and weighing around the 25g mark. Or could i put him in say a medium vivexotic before the 3ft viv?

What have other people done?

I have had no problem putting even hatchies into big vivs. As long as you provide enough cover, they should be comfortable in any sized viv :)

Same here, lots of cover and they will be fine. Just make sure they can't squeeze in-between the glass

There are different thoughts on this Luke, as there is with so much about keeping corns. You may find this thread an interesting read, about whether you can have a viv too big .

There are 2 important factors, the most being whether Cyrus will feel safe or not. Then you also have to think about how escape proof a viv is, especially for a little one. You just have to look at this Escape artist to see what I mean ! This particular problem can be solved using plastic paper binders, but it's something you need to be aware of.

As I've said, there are different views and as far as I've been able to work out so much of it has to do with the personality of the snake and you know Cyrus best .
