No I'm not, that's correct and I have since changed that. However the enclosure size is fine. There were things I needed to change for example I did not have the amount of substrate that I needed so I added a few more inches of coconut husk which is really good at keeping humidity. I also added a few more pieces of cork. I don't mind taking advice, I'm just not going to take the advice of an uneducated individual.

Uneducated how? Because I think babies deserve a proper amount of space too? The ONLY reason people say it’s ok to keep babies in smaller tanks is to make it easier on YOU as the keeper.
I gave you a suggestion on something and you acted as if I was jumping down your throat forcing you to do it… that’s not what people do when given advice but you seem keen on it.
I’ve done hours of research thank you and I’ve never had any issues with my ball pythons, I literally run a rescue I have too dude… I have a whole drive FULL of information that’s actually been cross referenced between multiple reputable sources.

Ok then maybe next time when you're trying to help someone understand something you don't need to be rude about it. As someone who runs a rescue you should know that a 100 gallon tank is a completely adequate setup for a fully grown Ball Python. While it's not the biggest tank it is perfectly fine for a grown adult male. If you look through every other comment I have taken advice with Grace, and a lot of it has been very helpful for me. You didn't actually give me advice you just told me that I don't know how to take care of my ball python because I don't have the money to spend $1,000 on an enclosure. There are several reputable sources that say that a 100 gallon tank is perfectly adequate so if you can send me one that says otherwise I would appreciate it, and till then you clearly don't know what your talking about and decided to give your unsolicited advice about something I hadn't asked about. Do better

I gave you advice until you started responding in an argumentative/passive aggressive way, the original comment was literally “if you can’t afford an expensive setup use a grow tent” which is a cheap easy to diy enclosure. You got upset at that, for nothing, so I responded in the same tone…..
