These beauties (sic) grow fast - my female is about 15 mths old & is pushing 6ft already. I would get the biggest viv you can get straight away but scale the size of your hides to the size of the snake that way they can still feel secure when hiding.

They also love to climb - in fact mine only ever visit the ground to digest, shed or drink, so try & provide some good branches for them to clamber about on. If possible provide hides above ground for them. I use papier mache used for lining hanging baskets with a couple of holes cut in them. These are light enough so it won't matter if they knock them down (which, being snakes, they will from time to time !)
