Re: So I was looking at Morph Market....Anthill pythons

maybe a 20 gal.? My Spotted (10 years old, so she's fully grown) is quite comfortable in a 30 gal. tank. The Anthills are pretty tiny as hatchlings & even the
Spotteds can be tricky to start off (their first food in the wild is lizards, then as they grow they get bold enough to take small rodents) so you might want to
make sure you get a well-started one, if you go ahead.
I agree that a 10 gal. isn’t adequate...never been one to skimp on cage size if I can help it. I’d be looking at 3’x2’x12” or 4’x2’x12” to fit my other planned stacks...hoping to revamp my cage setup next year. I’ve also looked at Children’s and Spotted pythons in the past, and again more recently along with some other smaller species of boa and python. I agree on finding ones that are well started if I go with juveniles, but was thinking on older animals, if I move forward with the idea. Mostly just bouncing the idea around right now.
I don’t actually NEED anything else, but ran across these when looking at this breeder’s bp offerings. Currently I have my 7’ Bci (who is 26). I’m fine handling her on my own, but I’m not getting any younger. I’m looking at both my ability to provide lifetime care, as well as personal safety without a second person on hand to help since losing my other half in April. The majority of my collection is made up of bp’s (7 of 12), with my Bci, 2 corns, a Solomon Island ground boa, and a Colombian rainbow to round it out. This may be where my collection stops, but it’s always fun to window shop.
