    Ball pythons in aquarium temporary?

    I found a good deal on a couple of ball pythons. The rack I ordered will not be in for another 2 weeks. Would it be ok to keep them in a glass aquarium tank for now until the rack comes in?

    As long as you have a tank for each. Lots of people use glass as permanent enclosures so temporary wouldn't be a problem. You could also use the tubs your going to keep them in or if it comes with tubs buy the same size and put them in there so that way they get use to it before the rack comes. That way your not introducing them to a completely different environment.

    Uhh yeah it will be ok, those of us that keep them as pets...we display them in glass cages :p

    You will be ok.

    Humidity is only an issue if you got into it without doing any research. I actually find it quite easy to maintain humidity in my glass enclosures, not to mention every time I go upstairs I can swing by and take a look at what he is up to.

    They're actually fun animals to observe when you have them set up properly and they are comfortable Ours comes to the glass to greet us
