Also, 2 feet tall is probably excessive for a ball python because they're more terrestrial than anything, especially when older. (Apologies if Monty is something else.) Most keepers stick to anywhere from 12" - 18" height for BP's, with 15" being common. The more you add in height also means more cage to heat, so something to consider.
Ahhh yes, makes sense.
Okay, Reptile Basics has a 48x24x15 for $365 (with 80w panel & LED)....PVCCages has a 48x24x18 (with 80w panel & LED) for $590??? Is is really that much better??
