Best sized cage for a hatchling?

[Ginevive]

I am just preparing ahead of time in case this egg does decide to hatch; what size r-maid would you recommend for a hatchling? I have a shoebox sized one now; is this too small or just right? I am figuring that a 10g-tank-floorspace sized one is WAY too big; is this right?

i have a couple youngins coming soon too and i am trying to get ready for them. I was reading on adams site that he uses a 20" x 9 " tubs for his hatchlings.

i think 6,12,15 qt tubs are good sizes for babies. just have enough hides.

I've got two of my new girls (right at 100 grams) in 15 quart tubs, and even those are a bit roomy for them. I just have two of the smallest plastic flower pot saucers in there for them and even those are big for them - but they're feeding, so it's all good!


The challenge of smaller tubs is finding hides small enough to fit AND a small enough water dish (at least for me).

I will go out and get something along those lines. The smallest one I have is too small, and the bigger one is huge; go figure
We are on Day 36..

There's no such thing as "too small" for a hatchling ball python.

It seems that hatchlings do quite well in 6 qt tubs.

What size tub does it say on the sticker?
