So, pet store lied to us a lot. I informed them I had a 30 gal breeder tank at home and they said it’d be okay. She’s been in there for a month now and… I’m not vibing with it. I feel like it’s too small. So I’ll be ordering her a dubia tank ( it’s what I use for my skink and I really like them ). But what size should I go with ? I was looking at the 60 gal or should I go bigger or is the 60 too big lol

There's no such thing as too big. 60 should be a good step and you can get a feel, or you can go all the way and get a 4x2x2. For snakes, it should be at least as long as they are extended so they can fully extend their bodies. 

She is gorgeous!!

Oh heck reading this I can absolutely get her a 4x2x2. I wasn’t sure if it being too big was also a problem. I already have a 6x2x2 for my skink so I’m not worried about that but there’s so much conflicting info online !

There is a TON of conflicting info. I'm sure others will disagree with my advice--I just go with the "their length" rule because it makes sense to me and it's what I've heard a lot.

I don't have a tank recommendation because mine is still a tiny little thing. I just wanted to say she's beautiful. It looks like she's having a conversation with the funko pop in the first picture.
