i was just thinking that my ball python (ting) appears to want a bit more space in his enclosure. ever since he escaped and was recaptured, it seems as tho he wants to have more room to roam about. he also has grown quite significantly over the past year and i was thinking of construcing a new enclosure for him. the one he is in now is about 25-30 gallons and he is about 3-3 1/2 feet long. most of the information i have gathered from websites and books tell me that a ball python at adult size, (3-5 feet) only needs an enclosure that is 30 gallons. does anyone have any advice or experience with sizing an enclosure for my little pal? i want him to have enough room to climb and to hide and roam to the point where he has enough freedom. i hear that if you make a snake's enclosure too large, they may get stressed. any ideas?????
