hey all!
i decided to occupy myself with building a new cage for my herps today to get my mind off the fact that my house might be devoured by the fire. so anyway my question is this: i have a timor monitor and a ball python to house. now right now the monitor is in a cage that is much too small for him at least n my opinion. so i am building a cage that is 36 inches by 18 inches by 30 inches (L X W X H) that is gonna be in a croner on the floor and one that is four feet above the floor and its an aquarium 48 inches by 18 inches by 18 inches.... so my question is which cage you "pros" think is best for the python, or if youy also know about timors then you might be of even more help. i guess since the cages are of comparable size my question is wether you think the python will enjoy a higher vantage point over the monitor (even though he doesnt get out of his burrow much)
thanx
jake

best and most effecient cage size for BP's are 4' by 2' by 1foot high. you dont need more since they aren't arboreal
