Tank Sizes

[SKOOT3R]

I want to make a rack system for my place, but i don't want to do it with the normal rubber made style tub systems. I'd like to use actual glass enclosures giving the animals some room to move around. I'm looking for a 4 tank rack system.

What are the smallest size tanks that are suitable for an adult Ball?
Any recommendations on a good place to go for a rack like this that isn't going to cost me $$$$ in freight charges for shipping?

Lemme know!

I don't really see the point of using glass tanks in a rack setup.

If you want big stackable cages the only way to go is plastic reptile cages like these:



These cages are made by animal plastics and will be a much better option

I would recommend the T8 for ball pythons.

Alternatively You can get racks with really big tubs ARS comes to mind:

Animal Plastics will make custom racks to fit whatever you want as well.


For your question you an adult BP needs 4 square feet of floor space. Cage height really doesn't matter as they are ground dwelling snakes.

The lowest size I use for adults is 40-gallons...36"X18"X16". Honestly though moving glass is going to get tiresome. You'll come out cheaper grabbing some old fashion sheets of birch, channels, glass, and making some nice sliding glass units.

Here is a thread I wrote on these types of cages: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...With-Pictures!

I wouldn't keep an adult ball in anything less than a 40.
