I recently relocated and I am workin at a Petco, after spendin some time handling the reptiles Ive decided its time i got some. Ive been doin fish for years and I love them, but it would be cool to have some pets I can handle aswell. So I am building a rak to put 3 terrariums on. I am planning on puttin crested geckos in one, bearded dragons in another, and a ball python in the other. the terrariums wont be very long but rather wide. I think they will be 36x24x18 tall... and one will be 24 tall for the geckos...

I know that enclosure will be fine for the lizards, but the snake im a bit iffy on if its gonna be big enough in the end. I mean A ball python rarely stretches out its whole body so even when its 4-5 feet it probably wont mind the short environment too much right?
 
i believe for a balll its a min. tank size is a 40 breeder, ill see if i can get the measurements right now
 
ball pythong might not stretch out but even coiled a female would take up alot of space. i agree 40 breeder is the way to go, its nice and wide and still nice space to move.

Doesn't seem big enough for an adult bearded.


I agree with Ryan on this one...

PyTHONG!!!
Awsome...
 
haha woops. didnt see that typo. I think it will be fine for the beardeds. I finally measured the space they will go and I realized I can make the bottom tank (for the beardies) 24 inch wide so theyll have quite a big more space. So I will probably do that...
