OK kids, give it to me straigt on the housing issue

I understand money issues totally, but you would be surprized how much pocket change adds up over time , and to first time herp , I dont know how old you are but if your old enough to push a lawn mower there is no reason you shouldent be able to make a couple hundred $$$ in the next 3 months much less for the whole year

Thanks for the financial consultation Robert, I will keep that in mind because apparently I hadn't thought of that already. All of my pocket change currently goes towards doing the laundry. I figure clean clothes is kind of important, right?

Big steralites huh?
Check this site out. (also may I mention ball pythons dont like big open spaces, so dont go too big)

Reptile Tubs

wow , well sorry for trying to offer some friendly advise , maybe if money is such an issue you maybe should not have invested the money on an animal your not financially able to properly care for?

No need to get upset guys :)
To each his own. I think Robert is just looking out for animals wellfare. Rubbermaids work great, but snakes are an expensive venture (ie vet trips). One thing new herpers should realize before getting into reptiles is how expensive they really are. Buying the animal is just the beginning.
I dont think anyone is questioning your husbandry eddie :) Im sure you take great care of your snake.

Well yeah, I currently am working to earn some money by doing like yard owrk and stuff. I would just rather buy soemhting thta is cheap but works. And maybe I'll conciter buying a animal plastics cage in the future.

I wasent questioning any ones husbandry. rubbermaids and sterilites work fine but as a matter of asthetic appearance if I only had one snake I would rather have it in a nice display enclosure.

And thanks green man for posting that link! That site rocks! I'm certainly concitering buying from there.

my pleasure ;) . I havent had much of a chance to poke around on that site yet. Just make sure to get the proper dimensions. I know they have some good ones that would hold a bci for a few years.

the man asked to for yall to give it to him straight, yet all i see is a bunch of beatin' around the bushes. eddie, if you want a good enclosure that is going to keep your ball python nice and happy as well as meet all of the care requirments, my best suggestion is definitely a rubbermaid container. I say this bc I have experienced with ALL types of enclosures, from glass to wooden to plastic to freakin rasamatastic. go with rubbermaid d00d, best 12 bucks you'll ever spend in your life. If you go to wal-mart, somewhere around the kitchen section there will be all sorts of "snake cages" to choose from.
here is a pic that i took JUST FOR YOU of my bci's enclosure (it was closer, cig for size comparison. that'd be your standard sized newport boss). my ball pythons are set-up very similiar, and everyone is perfectly happy.
