Ball python growth

I was wondering if any body could tell me wether or not a snake would grow faster in a larger tank (like fish), and if they could out grow there hiding places, because my snake barly fits in his Hiding place but always go's in it even though i poot anather place for him to go into the cage. and could u feed your snake too much well any infromation or feedback would be apriciated thanks..:carrot:

Yes you can over feed it causes them to get fat like real fat and its not good for them. Look for my post on feeding schedules with imprint feeders.


Hope this helps.

Growth is determine by factors such as food intake, temperatures and genetics. Tank size is not one of them. In fact a larger tank could stress out a younger snake, causing them to refuse food and grow at a slower rate. (I don't think this works for fish either - myth)

As for the hides. The smaller the better! They do not like 'elbow room'. :D
