Hi peeps

Heffa is 7 months old now, and still in 12L rub.

When would you suggest I move her into a bigger rub.
Ultimately she will go into a 3 ft viv.

I dont know if im wrong but Id say 1yr-1yr1/2, also depends on the wieght of your snake if he is growing very large he could be larger than one that hardly ever eats.

as a general rule:
length of enclosure + depth of enclosure = maximum length of snake

BUT royals can prefer smaller enclosures so it's whatever keeps them happy and eating for me!

Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder Hypo boas, cornsnakes, ratsnakes, Day Geckos

Cool. She about 2 and a half foot, and a great eater. No problem every week and took her first rat last sunday -no problemo :)

Just getting a little cramped and her cool hide is too small (so she spends all her time in hot end, would like to get a bigger hide in there.

Ill get the next rub up, and if there any problems, I can always revert back to 12L
