If you had all the space in the world
What sized enclosures would you give your snakes when fully grown? How much more space than the "minimal" size would you give them?
I got to thinking about what I would give my bigger rat snakes, carpet pythons...etc when they grew up. I've never seen a full grown carpet or russian ratsnake in person but I can't imagine a 4x2 would be ideal for a 6-8 ft snake, especially ones that like to climb and are more active than your ball python or boa constrictor.

Re: If you had all the space in the world
I have (2) kingsnakes that are in 40 gal vivs now. I know they could happily live their entire lives in them but ideally I'd like to have them in a 55-60 gal custom enclosure with lots of hides, perches, and plants. I'd also like 1-3 more snakes : )

Re: If you had all the space in the world
I'd put a small house next to my house, fill it with racks, and give the rest of it to people who need more land to live on.

Re: If you had all the space in the world
I am thinking about going a little bigger and co-habbing a pair. I have been researching keeping breeding pairs together.

Re: If you had all the space in the world
I currently have my little guy in a 20 gallon. I plan on moving him to a 40 or 50+ gallon space when he gets bigger (currently he is still small). I have all of my other animals in plenty of space. I never settle for the bare minimum with any pet.

Re: If you had all the space in the world
If I truly had all the space I would give each snake I have a bedroom sized enclosure with running water ,uv lighting and living plants.

Totally this. I would love multiple greenhouses all set to different habitats.
