Hey guys so I'm buying a pvc enclosure and buying a baby ball python this spring. I'm getting a new tank since it has to be ordered a month before and I want to get the Temps and humidity on point before I get the ball python.
I was looking at the 36 x 18 x 12. How hard is it to keep humidity in there compared to a 24 x 12 x 12? I wanted to buy a big one so I wouldn't have to upgrade after. Is there a huge difference in keeping humidity in there if it's that big for a baby ball python? Will the 8 x 12 UTH be enough for that big of an enclosure because that's what I have. Will the snake be able to thermoregulate being that small in a big enclosure?
My question is, is it much more difficult to hold humidity in a 36 x 18 x 12 tank that size compared to a smaller one like the 24 x 12 x 12?
I was going to use my 20 or 40 gallon terrarium I used for my bearded dragon (RIP) but I know glass doesn't hold humidity well so I'm purchasing a pvc enclosure.
PS: I know people say it stresses out the snake if the enclosure is too big but with enough hides, as long as the humidity/temp is fine and there are places to hide, I've heard it's fine.
