    Questions on deviding a tank
    I was thinking of getting another ball python. I only have the one and she is small im not 100% sure yet as i was looking at a male heres my question my tank is 54 in long 22 in wide 25 in high if i decided to put a devider lets say in the middle and cut that to 27 in long on both sides by 22 in wide would that be enough space if they were both full grown? Or would i be better off getting 2 tubs if i decided to get another ball? Like i said i dont know if i even want to get another one im pretty content on just having the 1 right now and i already spent alot on her enclosure so if i had to get rid of it i would lose out on alot and would defer from getting another one for awhile

    minimum space requirements for an adult ball python is ~41qts, which is approx 4 ft. of floor space.

    i dont think that enclosure will comfortably house 2 adult beeps for their lives.

I wanted to give her something she would never outgrow i need to clutter it up more looking into more decorations and plants also need to replace the left side hide cant untill tm/thursday she uses both just people say its better to have 2 identical so thats what i plan on doing also looking for a digital hygrometor idk if they need a probe or not dont want to pay 30 to 40 bucks for one from reptile store thats ridiculous proce for a hygrometor

    2 identical hides is SOP for beeps; that's great advice.

    Also keep in mind that if you decided to get a second snake you would need to quarantine.. Soo technically you would need to separate enclosures from the start.. Couldn't get another and immediately put him in half of that enclosure..
