Hi folks, I'm in the process of getting a baby ball python, and I want to do this properly from the word go. To that end, I need your folks advice as to cages/enclosures. Although I am getting a baby, I see no reson not to get the largest cage I can from the outset, as opposed to getting cages as I go. What do you folks recommend? Is a 30 gallon aqaurium suitable? I fully understand that balls are vary adept at escape, what are the tips adn tricks for preventing this?
I am not interested in breeding, this snake will be alone. I live in NE Ohio, so, if there is a supplier/manufacturer locally, that would also be apreciated.
Like many here, I was quite the amatuer herp nut in my teens. That was many, many moons ago. I have not so much as owned anything for the last 20 years, but I do realize and fully underswtand what I am entering into.
Anyhoo, thanks for all your time!
