What snake would fit in an 18x18x24 exo terra? Just got the Cameroon tank and will modify it for a snake with accessories when I figure out which one. Thanks in advance!

garter snakes, not sure of corn/king snakes but i think so, kenya sand boa.

Too small for a corn or a king. a 3-4 foot snake would have almost no room to move around.

Garter snakes or Dekayi would be perfect.

Sounds like perfect dimensions for an Anole tank.

Little known fact... The males are smallest at about 12-16 inches long.

I grew up with garters. Meh. Stinky freaks. Kinda bored if them. Though I did see a blue one. Peugeot Sound garter. Or something like that. Looks somewhat exotic.

He likes climbing around too, here he is eating about a foot off the floor while pearched on his climb.

Don't know how anyone could get bored, These things are hyper active all day long. I find most of the other snakes boring. I have some that only come out of their hide long enough to eat, then go back in, I have snakes that are active all night when I'm sleeping, again boring.

Exotic?? Hmmm let me see. ;)

well with your tank size your limited to a small few snakes, but to be honest garter are anything but boring, if you want a large snake that will wow the friends your going to need a much larger cage. if you want a snake that is highly active,climbs and looks great,and will fit your cage, reconsider the garter. i wish i could get one here. it would be mine all mine :) a 4'x2'x2' foot cage cheep to make would house a sweet carpet python :P wayne you should have posted that white one with the orange strip all the way down its back :) that one is beautifull!

You could always decide which snake you actually want to own for the next 20odd years and then get a viv to fit the snake........

I'm actually using one right now for my baby Rainbow. Should be good for a year and a bit then off to bigger and better. Mine is the 18x18x18 version.

Problem is, until the hets make more, that's the only one in captivity.

ive never seen anyone near me with a garter so i didnt know they were so varied and colourfull.... youre pretty much stuck with garters unless you can find room for a larger viv.... Id take some time and think about it
