 How big do they get

Under two feet, sometimes even under one and a half feet. but hoggies seem to like to stretch out more often than most snakes, so I favor providing a home a bit longer than they are. Tankwise, most people suggest at least a 15 for a male unless you know for sure that he’s a small fullgrown one. Not only is it longer than a ten, but once you get past tens there’s a couple extra inches of width to sprawl out in. With tubs, you can get away with a litle less lenght because there’s extra width to compensate for it, and they can just stretch diagonally if they want to.
