    Question More than just balls in my rack?

    As I stated in a previous post I am thinking about building a rack -- one with probably a couple 41 qt tubs, and about 6 or 8 32 qt tubs. Right now I a have a ball python, but I was wondering what other snakes I could keep in this rack that would have the same heat and tub size requirements as a bp.

    I love bp's, but I thought if I would have this much room, it would be nice to have a little variety.

    Also, depending on how much flexwatt I need to use, I do have a herpstat II, so I might be able to run some tubs at a different temp.

    So, basically - what snakes at the same conditions as a bp, and which ones with same tub size, but different temps?

    Thanks,

    George

    Children's pythons and Leopard Geckos are both suitable for housing in a common rack with ball pythons to my experience.

    my boas and pythons both enjoy 88f.. a rtb would outgrow your rack but there are smaller boas out there.

    I have a young columbian red tail in a drawer in my rack... he will out grow it, but for now works well he enjoys the warmth, just needs a bit more humidity

    Correct me if I am wrong. Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

    Ball Pythons are not dangerous.
    Conclusion:
    Therefore, Ball Pythons shall not be banned.

    See my signature. All my snakes are happy and healthy. Obviously the RTB will outgrow the rack but for now he's still a little guy.
