Ball python tank size ??

Question

I have a ball python he is in a tank 24L x 12 x12 , with his hide, water & some rocks it seem a bit small he is about 26 in or so long.I was thinking to make a tank 48L x 12w x 24D . Will this be too big? he is still growing so I thought a bit more room for him to explore and I can get a new snake for the other tank.

Answer 1

yes that is acceptable or 50 gallon tank.

Answer 2

36 x 12 x 18 is the so-called "accepted" size - but there is nothing as "too big" for a snake.  Just make sure the tank has all the environmental things he will need - rocks, water, heat, humidity, light, a "hideaway" that has more ambient moisture than the rest of the area, etc. etc.

Answer 3

"Adult ball pythons require cage dimensions of approximately 36" long by 18" wide or 24" long by 12" wide for subadult animals"
