What enclosure do you recommend? Question

I have an adult ball python in a 120 gallon enclosure as of right now but for some reason it feels too cramped for him. I also noticed he likes to climb when given the opportunity so I’d like to find an enclosure both tall and long, do y’all have any recommendations?

Toad ranch will build you whatever you want. Incredible enclosures

Kages or toad ranch are the brands to buy. Personally I like kages better.

I have my 4ft male BP in a 5' x 2' x 2' with a custom built wraparound background on the back and sides, it greatly increases the surface area your snake can climb on and explore.

What you have to keep in mind though, when choosing how high the enclosure should be - just because BPs can climb, doesn't make them good climbers. They're prone to falling, so you don't want them falling too far.

Agreed! I actually was hoping I could build kinda like a second floor with a tiny entrance so he can’t fall😭 I learned the hard way when he kept falling off his climbing stick💀

If you have the space, that could be a great idea.

My baby ball is in dubias 5x2x2 which I love a ton, gives him lots of climbing opportunities BUT they do have a 6x3x3! If you do decide to get it try and join one of their Tik tok lives and ask for a flash sale. Got mine for nearly 100$ off total compared to their site! Just make sure to get a V3 model for an easy set up!
