So I have a few, I think basic questions...
1. I've read that it's better to house a juvenile in a 10-15 gallon. Are there any problems with housing a juvenile in a 20 Gallon? I want to do everything right, and I don't want to put a juvenile in a 20 if they aren't going to be comfortable, or there's going to be problems...
2. How much of the tank should a UTH take up? I've heard 1/3, 1/2, and 1/4.
Also I feel like the size of the UTH recommended for 20 Gallons is small (only takes up about 1/4?) is this still the one to use?
3. How important is it to feed the snake in a separate container, and how long do you wait to move them after they've eaten? Does the separate container have to have all of the specs of the normal tank as far as heating goes?
I think that's all I have now, I'm so pumped to get my first snake, and thank you in advance for your help!!
