Hatchling Ball Python enclosure

[ClairvoyantDisease]

What could I put hatchling Ball Pythons in, other than racks?

plastic rubbermaid tubs work good... depending on what you want inside it... I wouldnt go any larger than 66qt... if you do use 66qt... 2 hides, water dish, and something to climb on are a must... if you dont want something to climb on... go with something smaller than 66qt

and I mean the next best thing? or the best if it isn't racks

[ClairvoyantDisease]

oh okay, thanks.

it depends what the best thing for you is. if you have 100 hatchlings then a rack would be the way to go. if you have one hatchling and it is your only pet snake then why not go for a 10 gallon tank or similar sized rubbermaid?

well I'm not sure how many I'm getting, but my brother is giving me all his eggs when they come, and his female usually has about 6 eggs per clutch.

If you are breeding you will need to house your hatchlings individually, security will be very important especially when it comes to getting them to start eating their first meal, so small tight tubs are highly recommended.

Usually 6 quarts tubs (14 1/2"L x 8"W x 4 5/8"H) are used for hatchlings (whether they are stand alone tubs or in a rack)
