Enclosure For A Ball Python
Hi everyone. Well if you had read my intro you would no that I am not rushing into this hobby. I want to do my research, make sure snakes are for me then do the best thing for the animal I choose to keep.
I think I am pretty set on a ball Python, I think their temperament and handle-ability is going to suit me as a beginner. I actually called Garret and Constrictor designs and spoke at length with him about keeping snakes and specifically the right environment for them. He assures me that a visually pleasing setup is going to be fine for a ball Python, I was concerned because I see a lot of people keep them in the drawer type system.
So this bring me on to my next question. What enclosure? Now I see the Zoo Med products seem to be good and would like your opinion on those. I really wanted a 48" enclosure, just so I could keep the cold and hot spots further away. I dont see them doing a 48" starter kit, but assume they must just do a 48" tank then I buy the rest of the gear I need.
Do you have any other suggestions on an enclosure? i am also toying with where I want to put it. I actually want it in my basement but am worried if I will be able to keep it warm enough in winter. The basement is a nice area, its my man cave, where I spend most of my time, but has no heating. I am in North Jew Jersey. I would like to hear you thoughts on that too? Maybe cover the mesh top with acrylic?
Sorry for all the questions.
