    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

    Re: Questions on deviding a tank

    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.

    EDIT: hi friend!

    well if you buy them as bbys you'll have plenty of time to get the proper setups.

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