That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I want to limit myself to only one reptile, because I will be living in Taiwan, where the pet industry, in terms of reptiles is not very developed. If I want a captive bred I might have to import one from the states. All the specific equipment such as thermostats and heat pads will also have to be shipped overseas. Having a spare tank around is just too tempting, lol.Originally Posted by Michelle.C
The 20 Gallon doesn't have to go to waste in this hobby! You can get a Corn Snake, Crested Geckos, Leopard Geckos, etc.
The funny thing is I will not be actually getting a Ball Python for another two years. I am just doing the research not since I'm bored at university.
I had my heart set on a 20 but I think 30 sounds pretty good. An important factor about Taiwan is humidity. Unlike here in North America, the humidity there is very high all year round, so thats one less thing to worry about in terms of a big tank.
In terms of the sense of security, I will be using two identical hides, most likely from Reptile Basics, and I will cover the back. The tank will be placed in an apartment that only I will live in, with no other pets in that room. So a very low-traffic area.
