>>You will probably want to get a baby (and that will probably also be the easiest/least expensive one to come by). A large half log will be way to big for a hatchling, though. Think plant saucer when it comes to hides for these little guys.

>>I also agree that too much space is never a good thing with these guys. I would use 12qt sterilite for hatchlings, 27qt sterilite for juv/sub adult, and 41qt sterilite for adult. These tend to be even on the high end of size for housing, so you can get the idea of what's appropriate.

What do you mean by too much room isnt good? I was never told that before. I have always heard (with other reps) that more space is always better than too little. I have a female ball that is approx. 2 ft (eating a young rat or 2-3 adult mice per week). What size cage would be good for her. Her cage now is alittle over a foot wide, about the same lenght high, and around 3 - 3 1/2 feet long. Is this too much room? Thanks.
