According to Anthony Caponetto

Part 2 - Caging



1. Size of the cage



Hatchling to 1 year old - 10 gallon tank or similar. I keep babies in 12 quart Rubbermaid containers.



Juvenile to Adult - 20 gallon Long tank or any cage of comparable size. Larger females may require a 30 gallon Long, or the equivalent. I keep males in 28 quart Rubbermaid containers, and adults in 24" Wide x24" Long x 12" Tall Barrs Cages.



Too large of a cage may make a baby or juvenile Ball Python feel insecure and may cause them to quit eating.



Make sure the lid is secure. Ball Pythons are very accomplished escape artists and if there is a way out, they will eventually find it.
