 10 Gallon

How long can I keep a baby ball python in a 10 Gallon tank? I would guess it could live in a 10 Gallon for like a year or two...I don’t want to stress it out by buying a big tank while it’s small.

Depends how fast he is growing, and they all grow at a different rate.

I might decide to keep him in a tub. What size tub do you keep a baby in?

Tub sizes I use are as follows:
less then 500 gram snake = 12 qt tub.
500-1500 gram snake 32 qt tub
1500 and up- 41 qt tub

Depending on the tub brand, the qts may vary slightly- i have some 15 qt tubs for babies, and some 34 qt tubs for juvies, and they worked out fine.

:D
