    really depends on how much he grows. a rule of thumb is you want the tank to be at least 2/3 the snake length. so three foot snake needs a 2 foot tank ect.

    My boy is getting close to the same length as the tank (20g - 30"). I want to upgrade because it seems small to me. He can't cruise around without running into his own tail!

    it may seem small to you, but ball pythons like things small and tight.

    I have bp's up to 600 grams in a 15 qt tub. The bigger ones i have in 28 qt tubs. They seem to like the cramped tubs better.
