    Question Maximum Cage Size?

    I have a year and a half old female butter ghost ball python that is about 32" long now and was wondering if a terrarium I have in my possession would be too big for her, its 32"L X 20"W X 40"H? I am pretty sure I'm going to make a vivarium out of it for red eye tree frogs, but I just had to ask because I could make a pretty sweet set-up out of a tank this size. I'm looking at moving her to a 40 or 50 gallon tank instead or one of the exo-terra terrariums that is 36" X 18" X 12".

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    As an adult, ball pythons don't need anything bigger than maybe a 30-40gal terrarium. Just make sure it's longer/wider than it is tall. Just make sure you keep it cluttered so they feel secure.
