    If the given specs are in inches that would easily house a adult. A 40 gallon tank is suggest for an adult BP. They are around 36x18x18.

    That is huge and way more than you really need for a BP.

    The measurements are in centimeters, because that is the smallest vivarium i have saw.

    Just another way of the UK being stupid

    Thinking about it that must be centimeters, huh? So its 23x15x16. Makes more since. That seems smaller than a 20 gallon so it is already to small.

    What are you using now that you want to change?

    23 x 15 x 16 for a hatchling ball python is pretty big. I'd say it could live comfortably in there until its in the realm of 700g. A male might not even get much bigger than 700g.

    Why is your humidity bad in your tub? Did you poke holes in the lid or put too many holes? You should have no humidity problems in a tub.

    Re: Vivarium Help

    Hes about 10 weeks old, was underweight when i got him though.

    I did poke like 100 holes in the tub but the humidity is always like 76% its not just that using a tub makes me feel uneasy for some strange easy,
    so was the link i provided suitable for my ball for a good while then?

    Thanks

    So that one is 36x15x16. That would be fine and should fit a regular size adult.

    It should be easier to keep humidity up in a tub.

    What did you make the holes with? They don't sound big enough. I use a drill and a 1/4 bit.
