i was reading the caresheet on this site, it says a 10 gal. aquarium is adequate size to house a full size African House Snake??

This doesnt seem right for when females grow sometimes bigger than 4ft.

i'm just wodering whaat size cage will work

sorry this was supposed to be a reply to my other topic

Since I wrote that statement, I guess I should be the one to clarify.

Most african housesnakes are fine in a 10 gallon. The largest females (4-5 footers) probably need a larger cage. Remember that these are slender snakes, so a 5 foot house snake is smaller in girth than a 3 foot cornsnake.

so if i were to get a 2o gallon long or 29 high, it would work for the bigger females?

would you expect a snake show to have these snakes, because i've really never seen one in person (the all- maryland reptile show)

thanks

I usually see one or two cb babies for sale at most expos. You have to ask around to see if anyone has any.
