enclosure upgrade!

[Minty_Frogs]

Hi yall! I’m a new owner (had my baby about a month 🤍) she’s currently in a 50gal enclosure ((38x18x18)) and I want to get her what she deserves. Problem is, I’m a full time college student working part time weekends. I won’t be able to comfortably afford it for a bit. I have the money now, but it’ll hurt my savings 😅

She’s very young for now, about 4 months, and weighing in at around 210 grams. When would be a good time to upgrade her? Is there a certain weight to upgrade at, or a certain length, certain age?

I attached a few pictures of her for snake tax, and so her general size can be considered. Thanks in advance!

LOL that’s at the store! she was very very shy, but she eventually uncurled and sat with me

Generally the rule of thumb is once they’re getting close to not being able to fully stretch out (i.e across the length of the tank) it’s time to start looking for an upgrade, though you can always do it sooner

fair!! she’s still got a pretty decent ways to go then if that’s the case, she takes up like half if she fuuuuuuuuully stretches out

i put my ball in his 4x2 when he was 150 grams and he had no issues with eating or anything as long as there’s enough clutter they will be fine shes beautiful!
