Ok this MAY SOUND SUPER SILLY!!!! But I guess I wanted a tank to Look at from time to time instead of having to open a lid from a tub and take it out. But if you all suggest I get a tub....This cool!

nothing's stopping you ;) but make sure you get all the temps/humidity going for like a day before putting the snake in.
10g tanks are $15 on Wal-mart.

Again, it's just a preference thing.

i only have a 20 gal tank and a 40 gal breeder..but i'll use a rubbermaid tub. So what would I put in to test the humidity?

i have 2 in a glass tank and 1 in boaphile, tbh i havnt had any problems with either of them, the boaphile does hold the humidity better but it really hasnt been that big of a difference between the 2 for me i just have to spray little water in the glass from time to time but it usually stays pretty decent and havnt had a bad shed or anything yet in either lol

i personally like the glass tanks because i feel its easier to see inside but thats just personal opinion, i use:

got them on sale for $100 at petsmart lol and it has worked great for me easy access and looks great

Boaphiles are are brand of professionally made plastic snake cages. Personally I prefer Animal plastics over Boaphiles.

Here is a thread that covers these types of cages in detail:

it's against the terms of this site... you agreed to them when you signed up for an account.

I own only boaphile cages. They are all very nice.

I also have exoterras and as long as you cover the screen they hold humidity quite well.

I use AP T8's for Ball Pythons, I use a divider when they are young, then remove the divider when they are big enough.

Half of a T8 measures 24 inches x 24 inches x 12 inches (L x W x H) and a full T8 measures 4 feet x 2 feet x 1 foot (L x W x H)

I have a large exo terra and I cut aluminum pieces to cover some of the screen. Personally I like the the way it looks in my apartment, Max (bp) is in his hide during the day but at night he "hunts". I usually leave a f/t mouse on the side farthest from his hide,after a few minutes he gets the scent and comes out for it. As it gets closer in the week to feeding time he tends to hang out and wait for food to appear,lol. I have a few branches and rocks in the tank, he explores now and then and returns to his hiding spot when theres no food. He seems to "like" this setup. He will sit and watch us go about our business instead of hiding all night.


I also have two green snakes in a similar tank , they also seemed to come alive in that setup.


I am sure someone will disagree with my observations, but Max and myself this setup works.

PS of course if I had more snakes this would be different!
