Hey everyone, I have geckos, frogs, turtles, and fish, and I want to get into ball pythons

Although I do have a few questions.

1) I've heard that lots of people keep their ball pythons in 41 quart bins. What are the dimensions of these bins? Also, for me I will only be keeping a few ball pythons, so space really isn't an issue, so I was thinking of getting a bin a little larger. What would be good dimensions?

2) How much of the bin should the heat mat/heat tape cover? With geckos I always cover 1/3 of the bin, but since ball pythons are bigger, I was thinking maybe 2/3?

3) What are some cheaper ball python morphs? I'm only 14, and I don't make much money, so cheaper the better. I could have a CB normal shipped to my door for 90, but what are some other cool, cheap morphs?


Thanks for your help and I am looking forward to getting involved with these awesome animals!
