Kicking myself for my memory lapse

[orangetabbys]

I have been keeping a rather frequent search online on marketplace for a used 120 tank, so that I can upgrade Blaze and be done with it, not have to think about it again. Im not in a rush but if I can save some money, I got time. I found one and she made it sound big. Looked huge in the pics. Went to see it and it was big, not as high, but the stand is short. Brought it home, cleaned it, sanitize. Tell my friend about it and then I measure to tell him the dimensions....and its...way smaller than I thought. Instead of being 48"x24"x24" it is 46"x18"x21". Im so bummed. I'm so angry at myself for not measuring at their house.

I feel defeated. But, I own it now. And I want to use his 40 for a new leo I just got, so I'll make the half jump to this, and some day get to the full size. I did get an extra uvb bulb, tons of bowls, stones, climbs, so it was def a savings in money, just a total bummer it wasn't the size i want.

Blaze will do okay in it. I had Kai in a 48×18.5 ×21.5 before I got his current tank, and he did just fine. Maybe take out the plant(s) if they are fake to give him more room? Looks like the tank is in a living room or family room from the pic? He will get plenty of enrichment watching everyone!

Yes I have him in our living room, he does watch us alot atop his perch. The setup came with a ramp too, so I want to find a way to set it so that it will ramp down into the playpen area.
