    Well it's to small for a BCI and Im not sure about any of the python species other than a bp and a jcp that would work well, So im kinda left with getting either king,corn,or gopher right? Because if i get another beardie that would mean more mealworms then i have to get for my adult, plus beardies like to see out and the vision tank wouldn't let that happen. So im kinda stuck with getting a smaller snake right? Plus with the sliding doors it's slinder snakes could get out between them right?

    ....that enclosure is not too small for some BCI....the island or mexican localities tend to stay smaller than columbians....I have seen adult niguraguans(sp?) that are no bigger than an adult bp....

    ok but i have heard that mexicans are kinda aggresive than a common. How much do they cost? Im thinking more on the lines of a JCP what do you suggest.

    Ok im having a hard time with taking my Caa my bp out of his cage tha he's been in since i got him. But i've had trouble with feeding him since i got him and buddy told me to put him in a 30qt tub instead of the Vision. The problems that i have had is sheds are really crappy even misting the cage down 2-3 times a day and the temps i guess because the temps are mid 70s on the cool side and the warm side where the Heat Spout is 90-100. I just hate taking him out of this Vision tank any suggestions

    put the ball in a smaller setup, a male bci,bcc could do well in that cage. buy the snake you want and get the setup that is proper for them!:2cent:

    I completely agree with Vaughn. Don't buy a snake or anything else just to fill an empty enclosure or to suit some tank or other. These are living creatures with long lives and they deserve owners with a deep, long term interest in them. It sounds like you are having ongoing issues with feeding and handling issues with other creatures and with a baby due, I'd personally say tuck that enclosure away for now and just focus on what you currently have...but that's just my opinion. :)

    Well im going to just stay with what I have for right now and like most of u said just see how things go with the bp in the smaller enclosure *tub* i just think that the Vision is to big for the shy bp that i have. Im just hoping that he will do better in the 30qt. tub.

    Good move! BP's tend to thrive better in smaller, darker environments :sweeet:

    Nope, no problems at all :) Make sure you provide two tight fitting hides on either end and a water bowl and the proper temps/humidity and you should have one happy BP in no time :D
