    I have choice of vision, bowflex, or a 55 gallon tank. What would you all recommend?

    I've never heard of bowflex, so have no opinion on them. However, I can emphatically say that just about ANY professional reptile cage is better for a ball python than a 55 gallon tank. Vision is a very respected brand and I would probably opt for that. And it would not need to be the equivalent size of a 55 gallon tank, either. Smaller is fine for even adult female ball pythons.

    The Bowflex is a 2 ft by 2 ft enclosure made of plastice with a plexiglass front door on it.

    I thought a bowflex was the little machine they have all the info commercials about at 3 in t he morning lol. Visions work great for ball pythons. And there stackable so if you ever get more ball pythons you save some space

    A 55 gallon is too big! A 20 gallon long for males and 30 gallon long for females is all you need! I noticed you have a few snakes, why not get a rack system with tubs? Saves space and balls seem to do better in them as humidity and temps are easier to control!

    Get a Model 221 Vision cage or as long as your vision cage is smaller than a 55 gallon, use it. I love vision cages, they look nice and hold in humidity very well!
