| Lesa - This question is asked regularly - there is no doubt it is POSSIBLE to raise a young snake in a large enclosure - I reall don't see the point though...
Everyone who tells you to use a large enclosure always adds "if it stresses/goes off it's food put it back into a click-clack" - logically, this tells you that a click-clack is a superior enclosure for a young snake as it has the snakes best interests covered...why you would then keep it in a larger enclosure baffles me...?
Young snakes are generally more susceptible to becoming snappy and/or going off their food than older snakes - so why risk it? All of my reptiles make the move into a nice large enclosure once they mature but I can't understand any reason to risk the wellbeing of a young snake by moving it in sooner...
As I said, it is certainly POSSIBLE however you increase the risk of complications occurring - provided you are aware of this make the decision yourself with it in mind - ultimately the decision, and consequences, are yours to deal with...my suggestion is stick with a click-clack for a while - makes no sense to me to do anything else...
