The ball python looks great.

The enclosure looks very large and tall. What are its dimensions? What are your temps?

the demensions are 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot tall wide and deep

That is a very large enclosure for a ball python. What are your temps? Ball pythons really don't need that amount of height or floor space. I would suggest moving it to something alot smaller....like 36" x 17" x 6"

he's (or she) is like 4 foot long..want lots of space for him

All that extra space, just makes it more difficult to heat and just isn't utilized by a bp. I understand you want your snake to have lots of room, but they're not like a dog that enjoys it. These are animals that like cramped spaces, and probably only venture out for short periods. Providing optimal conditions ensure that your animal will stay healthy for the duration of it's life.

ok then maybe cut the enclosure in half?

Sorry pal....my yahoo messenger is down for the count...lmao...i accidentilly deleted it If you have AIM shoot me a message.

I would cut it in quarters....an enclosure 3' x 1.5' x1.5' would be alot easier to heat and be alot less stressful for your ball python.

that short?..maybe 3'x2'x2'?
