Newbie Questions About Royal/Ball Pythons!
Well..this is my first post on this forum, I've been wanting to get a snake for the past year or so, but my parents wouldn't let me now I'm 16 they are finally starting to give in. I have done my research on two particular snakes, the royal/ball pythons and a pueblan milksnake, I have bought books on each snake aswell. I decided to choose a royal/ball python over a pueblan because ball/royals are a slower moving snake and they are a thinker bodies snake, which makes them easier to handle. I have looked into depth of the various morphs available, but I have decided to start off with a normal. my question is..
Will a 36" x 15" 8.5" Vivarium be large enough for a Ball Python? I obviously will start it off in a smaller enclosure and the correct equipment.
Thanks In Advance, RhydyrafonRoyals.

Thanks for the quick reply snake_tamer.
They store usually gets ball pythons which are around 14"-18" in length, so there juvenile? if not, please point me in the right direction! There all sexed, I was looking into getting a male due to they generally stay smaller. what sex would you recommend? I was concerned about the height, I might look into getting a 36" x 18" x 18" then. Thanks for the recommendation!

You ideally want something like these listed below as it is much easier to maintain humidity and clean. You can check craigslist cause I have seen boaphile and vision on my local ads for a pretty good price. All you really need is a 36x15x15(roughly) or better.

Re: Newbie Questions About Royal/Ball Pythons!
Sadly, I live within the UK not America which is better because it has a wider range of housing which suits ball pythons, Thanks for the suggestions tho Elliotness!

There are alot of breeders in the UK. Check out places like http://www.captivebredreptileforums.co.uk/
Ask one of those guys and they can point you towards someplace semi local
