I've made my choice for a CAGE

What one should I get for a baby ball?

Oh and how long should it live in it before i get a bigger cage? Or what should I get just so it can grown and live in for the rest of it's life?

I'd personally just pick up a 15qt/28qt tub from Walmart ($6) and get some binder clips, UTH or flexwatt with a thermostat, a digital thermometer, water bowl, some hides and fake plants and call it good. You could upgrade down the road or start out with a 34/41 qt which are common for adult BPs and really clutter it so the baby feels secure.

I have a 2x2x4 (different brand) enclosure for a full grown female pet ball and while it the display type I want if I was getting a baby, I would start with a tub/uth setup.

If you were to go with Animal Plastics, you could purchase a t8. It will be fine for an adult Bp.

You could also purchase the divider and section off the cage into a smaller size until your baby becomes an adult.

I see some models allow for a heating pad which is a must, but with these enclosures particular, do they just adhere to the bottom? Seems the the cage would be too thick to allow a UTH on the bottom based on pictures.

I know..but I would also like to just look at it from time to time without having to take off the lid. I guess glass displays attract me more.

Now this one looks pretty good..I just want something I can have for a BABy BP that can grow up to an adult and have it in. I can buy dividers it's its too big...but this right here also looks nice. What are your thoughts?

I wouldnt get that. I would just go to wally world and get yourself a 28qt or 32qt tub. If youre deadset on an enclosure id get a T8 from animal plastics and buy the divider for it as well and just remove the divider when the snake is large enough.

Then I suggest getting a PVC cage. They are perfect to house balls. They are great to look at and easy to maintain husbandry. What's best for you isn't always best for the animal. Ball pythons don't do very well in glass enclosures without a huge effort on your part.

And if you're dead set on a tall display enclosure to look in that is not as expensive as a PVC cage, then I suggest getting a taller tub that has similar dimensions as the glass enclosure. But just to let you know, ball pythons are awful display animals. Looking into the cage will be pointless because if your husbandry is correct, your snake will be hiding in it's hide 90% of the time.

Personally I would get the 211 24x22x14 I own one it is great. A small ball will need lots of plants and such to feel secure but that isn't very difficult to do. I own one and friends own a few a great enclosure. they heat efficiently as it is PP and is super easy to clean due to the roto moulding method it has all rounded corners. Easier in many ways than PVCx it does tend to sag a but I support the middle with a extra foot so that isn't a problem.
