Color or clear???
Im moving medusa to a rubbermaid, And we have a few that I can use. We only have them in colors. It doesnt matter that it will be pitch black in there for my snake right?

If anything in the case of a ball it will probably help with security.
Cheers,

For the price I would go buy myself a clear rubbermaid, I know I wouldn't want to sit in a pitch black box all my life.

I would recommend buying a rubbermaid that lets some light in but you can't see into they are usually kinda foggy , I don't know really how to describe it .

They sleep all day under ground where no light gets in anyway so what's the difference. When they wake up it's dark out. Many breeders use dark (not black but dark) coloured tubs in their racks.
Cheers,
Trevor

But some light has to get threw, even if you don't tempature cycle a day and night cycle is still important for a Ball python isn't it?

Im not so sure. I know that it will not always be in there, since I Let her lay next to me while I do my home work and sometimes on hot days, I will let her explore outside for 5 minoutes.

It's not ideal but it will work. Won't be much fun for you because you won't see your ball. And actually now that I think about it if you are opening the cage every time you want to see the snake that's not good either. I'm changing my mind. Spend a few bucks and get a clear one.
Cheers,
Trevor

I second Trevor's last statement.. if you have this animal as a pet, get a clear tub.. make sure your snake has a hide or two so it feels safe, but I think it will be better for both of you if you get a clear tub.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Bristen.

I use the semi-clear tubs...they don't let as much light in but you can still see in well enough to keep an eye on them without opening the tub.

Thank you for all your help. I am going to buy a clear one. Should I buy the flatter kind or the taller ones?

I guess that depends on what you are going to try to do with your setup.. for ball pythons, 6" to 10" is high enough for them.. if you want them to climb a bit 'n' stuff you may want to get a taller tub.. if it's just for a pet, I personally would probably get a taller one and put something for it to climb on when it moves around, but that's just my opinion...
Later,
Bristen.
