>>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.

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.
