Great Cages for Ball Pythons But Shipped From Canada

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I am in the process of comparing quality and prices on Ball Pythons and all the stuff that goes with them and after looking at tons of Youtube videos have noticed that the friendliest and most active Ball Pythons seem to be the ones kept in the visible type enclosures. The ones kept in racks seem to shut down because their environment is not stimulating enough, and they have less time to get used to the owner because the snake only sees you when you open the drawer. While convenient and space-saving, I would rather be able to watch my snakes and let them see me through the glass so they won't see me as a threat.

Your assumption are mainly coming from the fact that you do not own a BP yet and you are already starting to compare your snake to other animals such as birds or dog who needs human contact, socialization and stimulation my advice is research the animal you are about to acquire before rushing into buying an enclosure that might not be suitable for your animal.

I've seen some great videos of Ball Pythons that are quite inquisitive. I'm about ready to go to sleep but sometime I'll post some links. One woman lets her snake move around in this obstacle course she made for it and it's really amazing.

YouTube is not the place where I would start my research when it comes to setting up proper environment for your snake, the highlighted part above just proves it.

You are getting a snake a BP in particular bare that in mind they are not social they tolerate being handled, handling is for your enjoyment not theirs, they need to be provided with security even if a cage is what you are set on remember that the enclosure needs to grow with your snake if you get a large enclosure and an hatching you will be doomed to have issues.

Again key word is RESEARCH and there are plenty of great stickies on this forum that will help you provide your animal optimum husbandry which will lead to a successful first time owner experience.
