dude, if you can find a 4x2 rubbermaid, let me know, where they are and how I can get one.

I have 2 4'x20"x20" fake christmas tree tubs that I will be able to use when he gets a bit bigger, but for a permant cage it will probably have to be custom built.

For an adult male blood python you are going to need a custom cage. Probably out of melamine or something from neodesha, vision,or boaphile. The curve of the back when curled up can take up the 2ft wide, so you should really make a cage that is 6'x3'x2 (as their girth can reach up to 6"high).

A male I believe can get anywhere from 4-6ft, but I could be wrong.

Best bet would probably be spaghnum (sp??!) moss. As it keeps the humdidity up better than anything else.

As for a water dish, just a rubbermaid or 2 should work for an adult.
