ball python cages

hey guys i am looking for a ball python cage for my snake what is a good cage that is made for ball pythons and is really big for a adult ball python i seen Ricky cages i think there to small

a 20 gallon long tank or terrarium (30") would be good for a juvenile bp up to maybe subadult, then upgrade to a 36" when its an adult, i guess. that's my plan.
theres really a wide variety of set ups some aquarium style, some glass terrariums with sliding doors like this one i have...

this is a visionarium from creativepet.com

this is my set up...

and then there's plastic tubs of various sizes...

the thing is...too big of a cage will stress out a bp, especially a young one.

with glass ones though, the sides and back need to be covered to help the snake feel more secure & not so exposed. they're not good as "display" animals.

You might consider a tub for your snakes benefit in both heating, humidity, and security. Tubs make things pretty simple for taking care of your snake properly. No one enclosure size is perfect for a snake its whole life in my opinion and you might need atleast three from hatchling to adult.

Regards,
