If you are going to buy a glass tank (especially a brand new one), expect to pay $90. It does suck, but that's why I switched to rubbermaids. The same size rubbermaid costs $15...

Use judgement, keep him in there as long as you feel he isn't "cramped". I think once he is 30-35 inches or so I would move him.

Albino ball python, eh? That's really awesome. Just in case you don't know (which, I'm sure you do) they do run about $2000-$3000. I got a pair of hets for $950. That's a bit of a cheaper route for you. But if you getting it because they look pretty, or whatever, and you can afford it, then that's awesome. I wish I could do that, lol. I would suggest a place like Bob Clark (though his albinos are $3000 for a hatchling). There is also Dan and Colette Sutherland (aka The Snake Keeper), VPI, NERD, I think Alex Hue may have some this year. There is also Camlon Reptiles, Graziani Reptiles, Marcus Jayne (He is in Canada though), and some others. If you want to, PM me, and I can give you contact info for any of those. Oh, and don't expect to see anything available until everything has started to hatch (May-September).
