Choosing a snake?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
id still like to know how big of a 4' tank your gonna be working with.... you know foot print would be nice...
 
Id love to know too...But I said 4ft MAX..Anything that could like ina 1' x 1' x 1' would be cool...
 
oh yea and they only need a RUB of like, 3ft by 1.5ft that u get from ikea or matalan. just drill holes. they prefer tight spaces so dont need loads of room for movement.
shy at first hen u get them out then get inquisitive.
 
lol now reading the rest of the thread, i was looking in to a hognose but apparently they r really hissy. like they act the big man but arnt. they go for u but dont bite lol thats kinda thing. thats y i didnt get one coz i didnt wana primadona for a snake.
 
Thanks

What size do ball pythons grow to?

Im not a total begginer...Ive kept, bred and raised corns...
 
Most BP's are between 4-5 feet in length, however some females will get to 6'. Regardless...they don't need a huge tank. As others have mentioned, they are a fairly lazy species and don't do a whole lot of climbing. They are generally very docile and easy to handle.

Not trying to be negative...but a lot of the questions you are asking can be found much quicker by looking up care sheets for the species, or even Wikipedia if you can't find a care sheet.
 
Would any snakes (available to me..) be able to live HAPPILY in a 12'' x 12'' x 12'' viv? Or any other small (ish) size of a viv? I guess...I could probally get a 4ft if I saved up for ages...
