    vision cage 211 or 221?

    I did a search and returned some old/poor search results with little information. I would like to know what is the best vision cage for ball pythons of all sizes including fully grown?

    Thanks !

    the 211 ia perfect for small ones but for full grown the 221 would be beter. You need room for 2 adult sized hides and the 211 just wont fit them.

    What size tank do you have?

    Most people on here don't recommend anything bigger than a 20 gallon long. And that's for adults usually. They like snugger places and a 221 is best for an adult.

    OP, you have a little bit of a problem here. Ball pythons like smaller cages depending on their age, and there really isn't a tank where 'one size fits all' just like there isn't a hide that does that either.

    Just like hides, you have to grow the tank with the snake.

    Actually I am running with a 55 gallon tank and my guy loves it... he has multiple hides, shrubs, proper temps, the right humididty, and has plenty of room to cruise around at night. Two water bowls,,,.... and a very strong feeding response..... And I am going to be getting him a girlfriend as soon as she has had a few meals in her... she was born on the 19th and is not quite ready to come home yet.
