That's pretty much a perfect set up. He should be okay like that! ^.=.^

nice! what size is that tank? and a better question, what lights are you using?

the tank is 36X18X16 I already know it almost too small for it, but thats the best I've got till I can find it a proper home. as for lights they gave me a ceramic bulb and a heat lamp, which has been keeping the temperature pretty stable during the day time. I really need to get a black/red bulb for night though. our place gets chilly. Luckily the space heater has been doing a decent job of keeping it's room warm.

Awesome ^o^ That sounds perfect for a ball python, but a burm might get a little cramped in there.
It's funny, i have a like, a 45 gallon tank for my bp, but obviously its too big ;_;

put jinda of a heavy rock on top >.< i had a snake that size in about the same set up.... he got out ^^;

xD! this tank has a lock on it, no sneaky snakes getting out on my watch!! :P Though I am glad i've decided to give the snake it's own room for the length of it's stay :P

^_^

Nice tank.

I would get a larger set up for the size. typically it's the length of the snake should be at least the length of the tank lol I have a 5 foot snake and right now she's in a 55 gal, and planning on upgrading to a custom made.

He is absolutely gorgeous though!!!!!!

I know his tanks a bit small for it. :/ I'm actually not planning on keeping the snake, because I know for a fact I can't get him a tank that will fit him. I'm just kinda taking care of him till I can trade for a smaller snake and find him a home with someone who actually knows what they are doing D: I really shouldn't have him since I've never owed a snake before and these are deff NOT beginer snakes.

It was given to me by a guy going on deployment with my husband. Most likely he will end up at a snake sanctuary here in North Carolina :P

I didn't see that until I saw your journal lol sorry about that xD I am an avid snake person, having 3 snakes of my own xD He's gorgeous and If I could< I would love to take him :) but I can't lol

Looks good for now but a Burmese will outgrow a 40-breeder reeeeally fast! Hope you've got construction skills 'cause he's gonna get BIG.

Handsome snake!

hhehee thats exactly the reason I'm not keeping the fellow! with 3 cats and a smallish dog, large snakes can't stay too long :P

I only got him because he had no where else to go, so I'm a temporary home for now. I may end up trading him for a ball python, or other smaller snake. But most likely this fellow will go to a local snake sanctuary.

Ball pythons are great! I've had mine for 11 years now. He's friendly and gentle, and a manageable size (about 40 inches long and about 3 pounds). The 40-breeder tank has been perfect for him his whole scaley life. I also had a Brazilian Rainbow Boa for 8 years; she was high-maintenance and a little temperamental but nonetheless a nice snake (also gorgeous).

Kudos to you for taking in a foster snake in need!

I recommend getting a tank that he can stretch out completely in, he will be much more active in it. My boa never did much besides hide until I got him his new set up.

Also...He's beautiful! You got a real looker

I would if I could, but in the end I'm not keeping him. Would love too if he was a smaller type of snake. I'm only keeping him till his owner comes back or deployment or until I get word that its okay to find him a new home.

I hate that he's got sucha small tank and try to take him out somewhat often to make up for it, but I can't justify buying a 100+ dollar tank for a pet I'm not keeping. Lol

An thanks he is super beautiful!
