    Can I keep a BP in a 2ft long viv?

    ^ This is it.

    I'm new to keeping reptiles (Well, I haven't got any yet.) and I'm trying to do as much research as possible. The only things I am unsure of is the enclosure, I do not know what to keep the BP in. Another thing I am worried about is temperature, in the winter it gets quite cold.
    What do you keep your ball python in? If possible please upload a picture.

    Thank you very much for reading and hopefully answering (:

    I think that would be ok for a young BP, but probably not for an adult.

    A cheaper, easier, and overall better for the BP setup would be something like this: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...e-Basics-*DUW*

    Or a PVC cage would work if you want to be able to see the BP at all times, but I'm not sure of any international companies that make PVC cages (I'm guessing you're from the UK judging from the link you posted?), maybe someone else can chime in.

    The basic rule is 1 square foot of floor space per foot of snake. For a ball python I wouldn't use anything smaller than 24x24, but a 36x24 or 48x24 would be better.
