    Adult enclosure size
    30gallon long vs 40 gallon breeder?
    Who prefers which? I'm going to be getting a new one soon, thanks.

    ...sorry I may not be much help as I am not familiar with aquariums....but since balls are not aboreal...I would select the aquarium with most floor space...:gj:

    a 20g long tank can hold a ball python for most of its life, when the snake gets over 3000g you will need a bigger enclosure

    A 20gal long tank has the same amount of floor space as a 41 qt sterilite...

    Good to know! I prefer the lower ceiling of tubs, as well as ease of maintenance! :gj:

    I'm no expert but I would go for the tub, less expensive, easier to clean and not as heavy! What do you think? LOL! ;)

    i have a 40 gal tank for my 1 1/2 yr old bp, it looks great as far as display, but its proving to much room for her. And i heard once bps are not display snakes, but i didnt listen.

    i tubbed her last month then missed seeing her thru the foggy plastic...i think she misses seeing me to

    In the end i think a tub & Live webcam inside her hide would be best for me.
