What size enclosure is best for a carpet python?

December 11, 2009 - 7:45 am

I’ve been latley thinking about getting a coastal carpet python. I would prefer to raise one from a hatchling or yearling, but i dont really know what size terrarium/vivarium is best for one so small. Ive read people keep them in a shoe box sized plastic box for the first 12 months, until its feeding well, then move to a small aquarium then a large one. What sizes are best??

You can start a fast growing baby in a 20 gallon long that has structures in it to climb and perch. Adults will require a standard room closet sized enclosure.
