    Terrarium size question (again)

    I am getting a ball python form the September expo and I have decided to get a smaller terrarium. The medium wide my eco terra.24”x18”x18” (WxDxH).
    I wanted to know the minimum and maximum grams a ball python could be in this enclosure.

    Personally I've always done it by the length of the snake for vivs (I'm guessing terrariums are similar) (And I don't know about tubs). So the width and length should added together be no bigger than the length of the snake. So 24" plus 18" is 42", so you'd be able to have a snake up to that length.

    I would consider that quite cramped for a ball python over 1000g. You can probably use it up to that point though.
