    Getting my enclosure tomarrow

    well, personally, if you are going for a ball python, i would go for a higher one

    why not buy a 20gl aquarium, will last them a while, and i think are better




    anyway, a way to secure a sterelite container is to wrap bungee cords around it, as many as needed.


    or you could place some heavy objects, such as bricks on the corners of the cage


    hope this helps

    Well I was worried about the middle, and rubbermaids hold humidity better than aqariums and are less expensive.

    well, if you are going to use a sterilite(which DOES keep humidity better), why dont you look for one that might be equivilant to a 20gl, or anything higher, they should have a lil more space, just an option

    That one will be perfect. There are a number of ways to secure it, and bungee cords are certainly one. You can also use a drill or soldering iron to make holes in the middle on both sides, top and bottom, and then use a number of different security devices, such as wire, toggle bolts, bolts with wingnuts, locking pins, or just about anything you can think of that will function similarly.

    Both of those have more surface area than a 20 gallon tank. Heck, you'd need a 75 gallon tank to beat the surface area of the bigger sterilite in that link.
