Enclosures can be as simple or elaborate as one is capable of caring for. Remember that the more “stuff” you put in a cage, the more “stuff” you have to clean & disinfect on a regular basis. Glass aquariums & tanks are adequate but keep in mind that the screen tops on such enclosures can make it very difficult to maintain humidity levels.Juvenile ball pythons seem to do well in smaller enclosures that make them feel more secure; a small snake in a big cage can become overwhelmed & stressed.
