40 gallon breeder

[athms]

What snake can live in a 40 gallon breeder? Any short tail or blood pythons? Any ideas:confused:

Wouldn't recommend it. Glass tanks are not very suitable for environmentally sensitive snakes... especially for new keepers.

K but what would be a good snake for it

[ilovemysnake]

i have mine in a glass aquarium.
corns, rats, milks, and kings. i think.
i know corn and rats can.

Kings and corns come to mind.

[ilovemysnake]

Kings and corns come to mind.

can milks? also rats.

only thing i recommend when shedding is the humid hide.
both of mine love to go in there when shedding.

Well right know i have a hondo in it and plan on giving it a upgrade so i will have a empty tank

It can work for any snake as long as you set it up properly(to maintain heat/humidity and covered sides to add security). Many people just have problems maintaining the right conditions with glass tank and screen tops.

I have Milks, Corns, Pythons and Boas all in glass enclosures, just cover the back and two sides with something, paper or I used peel and stick .99 floor tile and the are pretty happy.

???????? I thought all you had was a corn snake lol.

I agree that a modified fish tank can work for high humidity animals but less work with enclosures that are already designed for it.

Okay so i want 3 snakes colubrid,boa and python i have a colubrid and for my last snake i want it to be pretty big so if my last snakes a boa i want my second to be a python. So whats a good python or boa for a 40 gallon breeder

A 40 gallon is not big enough to accomodate "big" boas and pythons.

Smaller subspecies of bci that could fit in a 40 gallon are sonoran desert bci, cay caulker bci, crawl cay bci....etc(Dwarf boas). Just do your research!

Smaller species/subspecies of python that could fit in a 40 gallon are Anteresia pythons(childrens, spotted, stimsons, anthill...etc), small locality jungle carpet pythons such as tully, palmerston...etc.

IMO you should find a snake that you like and purchase an enclosure for it, not the other way around.

this. Don't buy a snake just to fill a cage. That mentality is not good for the long term of your collection.

Talk to Nick Mutton from inlandreptile.com. He has palmerstons available. If you want a tully see if he can import them for you from Paul Harris in the UK.

Yeah you have to look under "jungles". Palmerston is just a locality of jungle carpet python.

Im not finding much care on palmerstons do you care just the same as jungles? And how big do they get

Shoot Nick an e-mail. He's been working with these animals for years and if you buy one from him he'll give you further support down the line.

I'd also reccomend you buy the book " The complete carpet python" which can be found on his site. It's a must have for carpet owners.


Jungle care is the same as other jungles, they just seem to grow a bit smaller than the rest. Maybe 4-5 feet on average.
