    Thanks for the clarification on that. I had been told before that a small locality like the Caulker Cay could be housed in a smaller enclosure permanently. But I wasn't positive. And I will definitely take your advice over some random breeder trying to sell them at a show. ;)

    Sorry for not being clear guys! And the tank just got moved up size wise
    First off the question was geared toward the large tank. I want to know what adult snake can live in a 36x24x18.

    I still say a Childrens Python would be a good bet, but then again I am partial to them, they get about 3 feet long. Rosys and KSB are nice too. I like to give my snakes as much space as possible so my thought is if the tank is 3 feet long then you need to stay will a smaller snake so it can move around instead of trying to cramp a big one in there.

    I have truly considered the hognose! They are really cute I just really like constrictors!!! I'm going to do some real research into a rosy and children's python!! Thanks for the suggestions guys. Any more suggestions are more than welcome.
