is 55 too big for a 6ft ball?
i was told that width plus length creates the largest amount your snake could be. So could a 6ft (72 inches) ball python live in a 55 gallon because that would be 61 inches if width(13") plus length(48")? because that seems big. She is getting to about 5'7-9" so yeah.
is it kinda like the rule of one inch of fish per gallon in regards to fish, where there are some exceptions?
And also this is just a question thats kinda random, how big of a tank do burmese pythons require. I figure custom made but what size lengthxwidthxheight

You have a 6ft Ball python? :eek: Pardon my sceptisism (spelling?) but that seems a little off. I could be wrong however. If it is 6ft i am amazed :worship: , I would love to see a picture. :rockon:

Yeah... balls and burms are entirely different snakes. :) I think if it's burm we're talking about, that size tank would be fine.

for a full grown female burm that would be small if fact i think it would even be small for a full grown male.

IMO the tank is to narrow I personally would go with at least a 18" wide enclosure.
For a burm 8'x4'x2' should be fine for a female.

It seems to me that he is, in fact, asking about a BP that is "getting to about 5'7"-9".
When he asks about Burms and their tank requirements, he calls it "random", meaning that it's off the topic that he's posting about :)
And an edit: I think that I mis-read based on other mis-readings what people were assuming about his post. :) Forgive me if that's the case!
Re: is 55 too big for a 6ft ball?
yea my bad she is a ball python, she is getting pretty big maybe not quite 6ft :D a little exageration but closer to about 5 foot sorry just wondered cuz not sure if she is done growing.
Yes my burmese python question was random and off topic i have a ball python and just wondered about how big a tank should be for a burm not planning just wondering cuz they are huge :eek:
