Tank Size Question!

[adam_degel]

I have a 40 gallon tank (18x36) I have 2 ball pythons so I've divided the tank in half.. do you think this is sufficient amount of space for the both even when they get into adult life?

I'm a newb, but everything I've read here says that males should be fine in a 20L for their life (although it may be too much for a young snake unless you really clutter it up). Females, since they tend to get bigger, usually need more space.

If it is a 40 gallon long then you are looking at enough space. But if one of them is a female (they usually grow much larger than males) you should prolly think about getting another tank in a year or 2 for her. Or buy a 20 gallon long for the other ball and give the female the 40 gallon!!
