I would prefer the height for accessibility reasons. I know mine are 12 inches high and even that that height it's a bit of a pain to get snakes (or rats) out of the enclosure without them dragging half of the bedding out onto the carpet. On paper towels it's a non issue. I could see 8 inches being tough since you don't have much space to lift the snake off the bedding to take out. Just my particular bit of insight.Originally Posted by WolfeManRob
16" tall is really not necessary for balls, you could literally cut that in half and they'd be perfectly happy. My buddies down at Predator Reptile in Mesa have some that are about 8" tall total, 12-14" deep and with widths from 12-36" that they keep the balls in and they seem extremely happy in them. Here's a picture of their set-ups. Top ones house any number of different things, they keep just about everything, it's the ones below that top row that I refer to. Bigger balls will want more footprint, but don't need the height at all.
