Most doctile snakes? I think not.

Cool sounds like some progress... my little guy has only balled up on me once and when he did I put my other hand over top of him to give him a "hide" in my hands and he relaxed when I did that. In all effects he was completely cupped by my hands. Might work for you too.

Hi, I had my first Ball Python in a 120 gallon tank and found that it seemed stressed, bad eating and shedding problems. I put her in a rack and she rarely misses a meal and sheds great.
As for hissing alot of mine hiss at me, but as soon as they are out of there tub they settle down.

To all you new bees out there reading this thread....

There are clearly two sides here.

Please notice who in this debate is saying "110 gallon tanks are fine".... Look at how long they have been members and look at how many posts they have.

Now look at the people on the other side who are basically saying 110 gallon tanks are WAY to big, and that a 30 gallon long is the biggest that is needed for even the biggest female. Look at how long they have been members, and look at how many posts they have.

Does it mean that someone who has been around here for a while and has thousands of posts are the only ones that can be right? No. However, my personal choice when learning the hobby was to really follow the advice from those that had been around for a while... while at the same time taking note of what the newbees had to say.

Here is my opinion on the tank size thing. Anytime anyone spends a lot of money on a big tank, it is very difficult to admit to themselves and others that they have made a mistake. It is human nature in this kind of situation to defend the decision... and to try to prove that it is the right tank.

If you want a snake that will do well in a 110 gallon tank, find another species.

Oh yeah, and the idea of regularly moving the BP from one enclosure to the other depending on the weather is in my opinion a bad idea to put it nicely.
