Yes, a 40 gal. would be just perfect for an adult Australian Spotted python. (or Children's) They really make a nice size pet (not too big) as adults.Originally Posted by blisterbeetle
One other thing, & you might ask the question as a separate thread to make sure the other Antaresia keepers here see it & respond (or pm them). If you've been reading a lot on BPs, most here keep them in fairly tight quarters while they're young, otherwise they won't eat- they need to feel secure. Well, I've only had this one Spotted python & got her as a yearling- she was still tiny at that point, but I kept her in a rather spacious 20 gal. right off the bat, & she wasn't a bit shy- in fact, she ate the first day home with me, & virtually never refuses meals.
I'm just not positive whether that applies to all Antaresia, even as fresh hatchlings- but mine has always been pretty "outgoing". She used her hides, & I left her alone to settle in and digest, just delivered pinkies on schedule, but I'd see her roaming around exploring too- she obviously approved of the place, lol. From what others here have posted about theirs, I don't think mine is at all exceptional.
