I have a 20 gallon tank reg. is that too big for a baby ball python if so how should i set up a shelf rack.

A 20 gallon is pretty big for a baby Ball. You might get away with it by sticking a lot of crumpled newspaper in there, but I think it would just be easier to get a 15 qt. bin and a foot of 3" or 4" Flexwatt. You don't necessarily need a rack for one bin... just secure the lid with binder clips or get a bin with a locking lid. That should last you a few months, then move up to a 32 qt. or you should be able to use the 20 gallon by then.

Also, don't forget a decent thermostat. That's probaly the best thing you can get for your snake.

Yep, it should be fine. Just make sure that it doesn't cover more than half the bottom of the bin.

i think the 20 gallon should be fine. provide the animal with plenty of nice tight hiding area options. more then two since its a large enclosure. also, crumple up some loose newspaper balls and it will serve the same purpose. if you dont like the look of newspaper balls in your enclosure get some fake vines from the petstore and use them as cover.
