    Animal corner!

    I live in a pretty small apartment so there's not much room for pets but I recently redid my setup and I'm pretty happy with the results. And still plenty of space for more in the future haha

    I want to get one more ball python and possibly another smallish snake or lizard that can live in a tub. Any suggestions?

    I remember those days! I once lived in a tiny studio apartment and had a boa cage at the foot of my bed, and a snake rack next to my refrigerator. You definitely have made it work!

    Leopard geckos can do fine in a tub - depending on the size, you could even have a couple or a small colony of 2.1. I did that for a few years with no problems and had a lot of fun with them.

    I'm not sure what is in your tubs but if it is snakes I would suggest securing the tub lids with more than just the flimsy lid snaps.

    Alligator clamps or luggage straps are a regularly used item.

    If you're thinking of adding another snake and want something small, my vote would be a hognose. Males stay pretty small and females definitely aren't a big snake.
    I recently adopted one and have really grown to love the species. They are awesome little snakes with tons of personality. And how can you not love those little faces??

    I have a Children's Python and he's fun. He's close to a year old and I've got him in a 15qt tub. They max out at around 3 feet. He's active, semi-arboreal and has a great feeding response.

    This is him eating the other day. The tub has enough room to fit a little branch in there:
