AP Cage (or other)

    I bought a 24x24x12 pvc for my BP when 2 months ago. Looking at his current 370g and 24" size and visualizing his full grown size I didn't feel it would be big enough. He isn't shy when I hold him so I made the choice and ordered him a 48x24x16 pvc. He showed no stress when moved to the larger home. He ate the first feeding 5 days later and periodically moves from cold hide to warm hide. Personally if your BP isn't stressed by open spaces go with the larger cage. I'm always of the mindset give your pet the biggest home you can. If I wasn't told some BPs are too stressed by large cages I'd have boughten a bigger one out of the gate. But in the end this was better found a locally built cage with LED light strip for the new cage and his old home which will soon house a childrens python.

    I'm getting the 48x24x12 cage. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to split it in half with the divider. I've decided to get the divider and just order another cage down the road when I'm ready to take the divider out and give this girl the whole cage.

    I too wonder how people are able to keep their BPs in a 24x24x12. I mean to me that seems really small. I mean granted I know they aren't that active but a 2ft space for a 4ft snake doesn't even seem like it would give it stretching room. I personally prefer a cage that is 3/4 the length of the snake minimum and half its body length in depth. When I pick up my AP for my little girl, i'll be going T10 for the extra 3" height for the RHP and just skip a UTH as imo its not needed with PVC cages and a RHP. Plus I prefer to run about 2 inches deep on my aspen.

    All depends on how many you are keeping and what your plans are (pets or breeding). I'd love to have all mine in 40 gallon tanks but that's far too expensive and takes up too much room. I know people that have well over 300 balls. That's a whole lot of cage space. Haha

    Lol my pied girl does that all the time. I ended up taking her out last night and she just curled on my chest and put her face on my arm and sat there for about 45 mins while I watched tv. Nice looking cage btw.
