need advice for housing a ball python

which one is good for hatchling or juvy ball python tube

1. 14" x 12" x 7"

2. 11" x 9" x 5"

The second would be good for a hatchling for a few months and then the first would be good for a juvenile or small adult.

consider they grow pretty quickly

I don't think there's much of a difference, both will work. Depending on how you're going to heat them would be most important.

thanks all im going to buy this coming jan 2010.

do u have any advice for cleaning the safe once

If you mean cleaning the tubs/cages i recommend chlorhexidine. Has not odor when used and no wait time for it to air out once you wipe out the cage/tub

Chlorhexidine is not mouthwash.

Its in mouthwashes, however. But no you want the concentrate that you mix with water. You MAY need to mix a new batch every time you use it, however. I've heard many times you absolutely do but last I heard there had been no real study on its effectiveness on Gram negative or positive bacteria after having been mixed with tap water after a couple weeks. I remember hearing, however, that if it is in distilled water then it should be able to last longer, but I again have not seen a comprehensive study on this.

sori i tought that the ingredient of a mouthwash.

any product do u preffered except novasal i thinks correct me if im wrong. that brand or type is not available here in my country philippines. we have here are clorox, lysol, and some other brand bleach.

Actually, it is. A prescription grade mouth rins anyway.
I was once prescribed Peridex by my DDS and I still had the bottle. I pulled it out and, yep, its Chlorhexidine.
