I've made my choice for a CAGE

We use the ZooMed Under Tank Heaters for our vision cages - literally for every single one in the store, so we use dozens of them in each location. They stick right on the bottom and the way the cages are built, there's enough space between them to allow for heat to escape as needed.

My only warning is not to put the heat pad directly under where a basking light may be (if you get a larger model that allows for a basking light). The combination of the basking light and heat pad in the same area can cause the cage to warp pretty bad.

Ball Python Cage


Thoughts? I have enough money now to order something.

I would really suggest the 14 tall one and I again would point out the hard corners the visions have a distinct advantage in cleaning over all the slab built plastics. It really looks like the top and bottom are at least 2 inches maybe 2.5 that makes the opening 12-4=8 or maybe 12-5=7! this is a very small opening to work inside of the opening on a vision 211 is 9.5 inches tall. & inches is not very large and it makes cleaning and adding substrate interesting sometimes it is absolutely harder than the taller enclosures so my advise is go taller to the 14 that makes the opening that much larger and it easier to maintain with no function differences to the extra 4 inches.

My 12 inch PVCx enclosure (24x24x12) is only 7.5 inch tall opening I wish I had spent the extra for the 14. I regret it a lot.

What do you guys thing of this? Could a BABY Bp live in this until adult size?

wait so the vision 211 isn't 14?

Just buy a southland herp habitat. They are cheap and are okay for display. I keep my BP in one and she is as happy as a clam. Just make sure you have proper husbandry.:snake:

Honestly if your dead set on a display type cage, get a display type animal which Ball Python's are not. Get a Green Tree Python, or Amazon Tree Boa, even some cool colubrids like Rhino Rat snakes etc. All the ball python is going to do is hide regardless, your not going to walk by and see him sitting out unless your not providing a hide obviously. Ball Python's do better in tubs in racks for the simple reason it's small confined and usually dark in the rack for most breeder's and advanced keeper's. I suggest yet again like a lot of others have already is to buy a 12qt-28qt tub from Walmart and get a heat mat and zoo-med thermostat for like $50-$60 That's all you need besides a water bowl, hide, and substrate which ever you choose.

This works if you are able to keep a room at 80 degrees
