Tank size questions

[BluuWolf]

So I want my Lucy to be happy and healthy. What is the proper tank size for a baby or small juvenile. I have her in a 30 gal now but I bought a 55 gal tank and wanted to know if this setup would be best. I want her to have a hide on warm side and hide on cool side with water bowl in middle. The 30 gal doesn't really have space to allow this but I'm afraid the 55 is too big for her right now. Just wanted to get some opinions before I did anything. Lucy is maybe 18 to 20 in he's long now so still pretty small

Whenever they are small smaller is better. If you aren’t able to fit 2 hides in a water bowl in a 30 gallon for a baby/juvenile ball Python then you are using hides that are too large.

Ball Pythons like small spaces to feel secure so the hide should fit them pretty snuggly, not a lot of wiggle room. When they are older and more comfortable you can move them to the 55 gallon if you want but for now it would be much to big. Even the 30 gallon might be to large if you don’t fill it up with plants and such to make them feel secure
