I need help and its gonna be a little hard!!
Ok so here is my dilemma
I have a Columbian RTB and a Female Pastel ball python both relatively small. My RTB is about 26 inches and my python is about 18-19 inches long..
Now i have had them in glass tanks right now my RTB in a 40 gallon glass breeder and my python in a 10 gallon tank
So here is my dilemma i would like to make a small rack if thats possible that is going to be able to keep the python and rtb in the same setup for the rack. (not the same cage i know we cant do that)
So who can help me build a rack out of anything dosent matter what but out of anything that is going to be suitable for both snakes.
Please keep in mind that the when the time comes i would like to use the same setup rack and just switch out to bigger tubs when the boa and python both get bigger. I know im asking alot but if just one person could help me out that would be so much help. thanks alot guys hope you can help

I dont have experience building racks but I do know the RTB will need a bigger enclosure than a rack can provide, I have one and have been working on some plans for my first rack including a 6'x2'x2' area for my RTB.

From what i was told and this was from about 3 different experienced boa people a 421d from boaphile or animal plastics which is 47x23x12 would fit a boa just fine the 6x2x2 is something extra and more then enough room dont get me wrong a 6x2x2 is nice but a 421d would be adequate

Okay, it's just what I read. Personally still going to do the 6'x2'x2' for mine. He's more of a display snake for me anyway, dont really plan to breed them.

Do you want them to be in display like cages? Or can you deal with them being housed in tubs?

Re: I need help and its gonna be a little hard!!
your plans are fine 4x2 is fine for anything less than a giant boa... I kept boas for years in slightly larger tubs without issues.
No they are not display cages...
but then again, good luck finding a display cage as cheap, easy to clean or easy to heat as a good tub setup.

Why don't you buy an old entertainment center froma garage sale or something and convert it? That way you'll have enclosures big enough for both and if you want to get more there are other compartments and you can still watch them
