you should start them off in a rubbermaid container about 25 Litres and thats more than enough for hatchlings.

ya i know it would be enough room for a hatchling but would a 6'x 2'x 2' be 2 much for him

Actually you could put 2 in a 6x2x2 tank. just go to a hardware store buy a chunk of plexiglass to fit inside (or some other sort of secure devider) and run a bead of silicon around the edges.

When you say 180 gallon I'm assuming opentop fish tank. A few things to think about if thats the case. Cleaning can be a bit of a pain in the @ss. So can getting the snake out until you get past the flinching when they nip. But the main issue is maintaining the humidity.

I wouldn't put baby jungles in a cage like that until they are pounding rats, and a bit bigger in size. The large cage could cause extra stress on them, but then again some will adapt readily.

thanks for all the replys and i think what i will do is use a rubermade until he gets biger because if i just use a small part of it it will be realy hard 2 keep a good basking spot,warm side,and cool side because i would have 2 use a high watt buld because of how tall the tank is
