Hello. I’m planning on getting a ball python and I wanted to keep him in a tub all his life but my dad wants me to move it to a tank at some point because that’s what a lady at his work who has had snakes a long time suggested. He said we could get a 20 gallon and that a 40 gallon (which is what I would want) is too big. What is your take on this? Any suggestions on how to convince him to stay with a tub or move to 40 gallon? The 20 gallon just seems so small.
I’m a college student currently taking the semester off for medical reasons and am living with my dad this semester (he is paying for the ball python).
