First bp.

[Kaorte]

Isnt it great how people can ride up on a horse and start bashing otheir peoples opinions? lol. I have a juvinial in a 50gal tank thats evenly cluttered with two identical hides, one on the warm side the otheir on the cool...a log hide in the middle , two water dishes one on each side and fake plants around the back and sides and he absolutley loves it.

It would help if we knew exactly how old/big the snake is. If its a hatchling ( just afew months old) a large open area would be wayyyyyyy too stressful, however thats not hard to fix, just clutter that place up .


One important factor I have learned from BP.net is that every Ball has a diffrent personnality....their are general facts on what they may or may not like but the best way to learn more about your snake and its needs is to watch it and get to know its body language. You know your snake more then anyone else here.

I don't really know how you determine how much your snake "loves" what he lives in. Probably because you can't.

I am giving the OP advice based on what has worked for the majority of people. The information that ballpythonLOVER gave was incorrect. a 40g is NOT the minimum for a BP. And it is surely not the maximum either.

Can you house them differently? Yes. I am not saying its my way or the highway. But saying that this is the minimum or this is the maximum is incorrect.

All of the information I give out is based on what I have learned and what other experienced members have taught me. I like to give people the easiest solutions for their problems. A 50g tank is not an easy solution. It never is.
