Hiya!
Thanks much for the kind words. I’m pretty excited about how the whole thing is coming together.
When I did my research on this monster, I wanted to build it big enough to house adult ball pythons. I’m a snake PET keeper…not a breeder…so I’m not trying to push my animals to size. During the course of my study sessions, I learned that male BPs are inherently smaller than females…so that’swhat I’m going to be getting. I have one female Bee, and one male Pied right now. In a few weeks, I’m adding a male Desert Mojave. Any other BPs I get will be males.
The dimensions of each enclosure are slightly bigger in floor space than a 32 qt tub, and I’ve read time and again that is a good size for what I have/want.
In addition to my BP passion, I own a Miami Phase cornsnake (4 feet long), and a Creamsicle Corn (2 feet long). Those were my first two snakes purchased after I got back into the hobby, and they have their choice of which floor ofthe condo they want (they’re spoiled).
My plan is to keep my options open with respect to new additions, and pick up the things that I just can’t live without. As of now, three enclosures are available for rent!!! J
I can house just about anything that stays within the 3-5 foot realm…within reason. I have a feeling one or two more of my tanks will be BP homes, though. I LOVE ‘em!! I WOULD love to get a Tree Boa...but they appear to be a little less tolerant of people than corns or BPs. I know each animal is different....but my animals are wonderful, and tame as can be. Because of this, my wife is VERY tolerant of me keeping reptiles. One strike from a Tree Boa would fly like a lead balloon around here!!!
