    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm thinking of giving my two balls big enclosures....Lol

No really almost like a room theme, 2 enclosures That will look like one totalling approx. 8'L, 2.5'W, 4'H, Giving the snakes alot of room for vines, branches, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
It will be a conversation piece. I've looked around and only found how big ball Python enclosures needed to be not how big they could be.

Does anyone think their will be a problem with tanks this size besides heating?
 
It can be done, heating will be tricky but acheavable...Also make plenty of hides....

The reason you see this is because alot of keepers have found that a larger enclosure can stress a bp out and cause it to go off feed. This is my own personal experience also. So, I always recommend smaller enclosure and small hides. Security is a big stress issues for balls.

There are some keepers who have no problems with large enclosures, it all depends on the animal. Personally, I wouldn't spend the money and time on that setup unless you know it won't affect your animal in a negative way.
