How many gallon tank would a 4 foot snake need???

Question

Minimum

Answer 1

It depends on the snake really. It it were say a cornsnake or a ball python and you dont care about looks of the enclosure, you can house it in a rubbermaid container big enough so they fit good in there. They dont need much of a big enclosure size and you can use aspen bedding, newspaper or paper towel. If you dont like it this way and prefer a much cooler looking enclosure then a 40 gallon to 55 gallon tank will be excellent, just make sure its wide enought also.

Answer 2

40 Gallon. Snakes don't really like big areas. In fact it stresses them out more. 35 - 40 Gallon would be perfect. 55 gallon... eh.. Sure but it should be fine.

Answer 3

i would have to agree a 55 gal tank would do the trick but don't get a snake without research and how much you will spend on up keep on equipment like hot pads lights etc. the up keep can be as much or more than the initial set up over time and you don't want to buy a 55 if the snake is not done growing because you may end up buying all new equipment later for a larger snake. pay a little more now for a bigger tank and hot pad may save you a lot later.  

Answer 4

I personally would go 55 gallon. The length of that tank is about 4 feet. It would give your snake plenty of room.

Answer 5

What snake is it, is it full grown?... you really want to think about what tank you should get for when its fully grown it will save you lots of money. at the minute i suggest 50-60gallon tank...long  

Answer 6

Possibly a 40-55 gallon tank. It will provide the snake with much space to roam around in.

Answer 7

50 gal.

h**l i use it..
