How to tell if my BP is stressed

I agree…a tank is never to big if you put enough places to hide is it. Cover at least the backside and the sides of the tank and if possible the top and put enough in the tank so that anytime your snakes feels unsafe it has a place nearby to hide. They will explore in the night but when they are done they will find a place where they feel the best. I have put several baby ball pythons in tanks of 100 x 50 x 50 cm and they never had a problem. They eat every time I feed them(once a week), even when they are shedding or on 1000 gram wall,and changing from live to frozen, mice to rats was also no problem at all. They really don’t like to be in the open but it doesn’t matter to them that much what gives them cover, a piece of wood, a hide, a plant, as long as they can hide. If they have more places to hide you will see every single one has his own preference. But cleaning is a bigger job and tanks use more space so if you keep many, racks are way easier.
