    Zilla Deluxe Critter Cage from Petco?

    I'm a new bp owner and I wanted to upgrade the tank from a 20 gallon to a 40 gallon. I went a few different stores but the best one I found was the Zilla deluxe critter cage. It has a sliding screen top. Is this a good choice? I already picked it up but I just wanted to make sure before I put him in it. Does anyones ball pythons tend to easily get out of this tank? Thanks

    The sliding lock tops are super secure and a good choice for glass terariums. As long as you don't forget to get it into the lock position you shouldn't ever see any escapes. I have the 20 gallon slide and lock for my smaller normal now, but since we just moved our beardie I now have a free 40 gallon that I'm either going to move Kirby into or put a new lizard in.

    humidity can be a bit of a challenge, but there are lots of ways to get around that.

    Ok thanks I thought so I just wanted to make sure.... I have a cat so I really wanted to prevent any possible break outs.

    I'm using the 30 gallon version of that tank(36x18x12) vs the 40 gallon(36x18x16) for my pied girl atm and it works fine. I got lucky and got mine for $20 from Petco because they were just trying to liquidate all their 30 gallon Zilla cages.
