What is TOO big for a ball python terrarium?

[Ptshay]

I am looking to buy an "Exo-Terra" terrarium for my ball python and I'm wondering what's too big? The one the website recommends is their "medium low" that measures 24x18x12? Is this large enough for my ball python once it's fully grown or will I have to buy another larger tank? By the way I know females can grow up to 6ft but I'm not sure if I'm getting a male or female so I need to accomdate for both. If this is too small for a full grown ball python would the "low large" exo terra terrarium (36x18x12) be too large?

I got my broomhilda at 81g. I have 2 identical hides (wooden caves from petsmart, she loves em) lots of plants to make sure she can make it from one end of the cage to the other without being seen. Water bowl, etc. It's hard with humidity in that cage and heat. I got 100 daytime basking light and 100w night light. She was nippy for the first 2 weeks. Then now she is completely fine, sweetest thing ever. It's really your call on how much you want to spend. Humidity in that this is horrible so I have a reptifogger, but that kinda sucks because it drips water in the enclosure (which I get super worried about scale rot).


Honestly if I could go back in time I'd get a vision cage or similar.
