    Re: what is the minimum HEIGHT of a dispay cage for a adult ball python...

    I would say 12 inches, since you're looking for a display cage. Ball pythons are generally not arboreal, though they occasionally climb a bit. They tend to be, 90% of the time, a terrestrial species.


    Our Ball Python Collection:
    1.3 Normals
    1.0 100% Het Albino
    0.1 Albino
    0.1 Orange Hypo
    0.1 Lesser Platinum
    0.1 Butter 100% Het Orange Hypo
    1.1 Cinnamons
    1.1 Piebalds
    1.1 BEL (Super Butter/Lessers)
    1.0 Honeybee
    1.0 Pastel
    1.0 Butter
    1.0 Butter 100% Het Orange Hypo
    1.0 Pinstripe 100% Het Orange Hypo
    1.0 Super Sable

    I have big adult girls(3500+ grams) in 8 inch tall enclosures and they have plenty of room.

    I would like to thank everyone for your input.
    I have pretty much decided on 40" L x 18" W x 10" H inside dimensions.

    Now I just need to figure out what size flexwatt to use inside on the floor.
    (there will be a glass sub floor raised 1/4" off the plywood floor (thank you, Jenn for this idea)).

    Any additional comments would be greatly appreciated.

    thank you
    Bill
