    Tub height

    Is a tub with a height of 5,12" high enough for an adult bp??
    I can't find any other sizes around here.

    I can't tell if you are saying 5" or 12"? My tubs are right at 6" high if that helps you any!

    Whoa! I knew balpythons are happy in small spaces, but i thought a 5" tub was too extreme.

    IMO, low ceiling height is critical for helping ball pythons feel secure. 5.5" is about perfect for my snakes, but taller enclosures can be made to work as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Tub height

    Thanks Adam, but do you think a height lower than 5,5" is too low?
    Or will this work? I'm getting my bp's at the end of March, so i really want to know if my setup is ok
