I currently have a 24" Ball Python in a 20 Gal. tank which measures 24"L X 12"W X 17"H. From what I have read on the net is that he should be fine in that tank. However he is out everynight exploring all over the tank so I felt it was too small and put some peices of wood in their to climb on and now he uses the entire height of the tank as well, even though I read B.P. arent big climbers.
I have decided to get a new tank, and I was thinking about getting a 50 Gal. and decorating it quite nicely. However I am worried about heating such a large tank and have heard so many different opinions from different pet store owners.
Any advice you guys have about what size and dimension tanks I should look at would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
PS; I would like this tank to be the last one and not have to go bigger if possible.
