So I have made a couple posts concerning my new baby ball python and I have another question. I have her in a 5.5 gallon tank, humidity is kept around 53-57 most of the time. I haven't had her long enough for her to go into shed yet. Anyways I just wanted to know how long I would have before I need to move her into a bigger tank?(I am currently saving up for it now but it is a little more expensive than expected because i need to buy a heat pad and a lid for the tank my nearest petstore has available). Anyways, she is eating pinkies about every 5 days, and I just want to know how long would it be okay for her to stay in there? The hot side is about 85 and the cool side is about 75 ( give or take it is really hard to keeps the temps different because of how small it is, ambient temp is usually 82). I also heard about keeping her in a plastic tub if i cannot get a larger tank in time. How would i go about keeping her in a plastic tub? would i need to put a heating pad on it the tub? poke holes in the lid? I know I asked a lot of questions lol, so thanks!
