depends how well it feeds and so how fast it grows........and if you move it into a bigger enclosure there's the potential that it might stress and not feed so you might end up putting it back in the 9L for a while...
as a guide to enclosure size:
length of enclosure + depth of enclose = maximum length of snake
although Royals can buck this trend! |

agree with Ali...
i have a 3 month old and she is in a 9l rub, will keep her in there for a while longer yet..
i think when they are younger they tend to like the smaller places that we think are to small...
much easier to move some of them when they are older.. |

Not that I have an awful lot of experience as I only have the one snake and I've not had him long, but I think you just sort of *know* when the smaller tub is too small. I moved my baby over from a large tupperware tub to a 42l RUB the other week at about 3 months old. He was quite active in the small tub and it just seemed too limiting for him. I fed him a day after I put him in the new RUB and he took it fine.
He's loving the extra space now and I often find him exploring. I've kept a lot of cover in there with hides and a big fake ivy vine, which helps him feel secure. |
