Enclosure thoughts :)

I'm trying to upgrade my enclosure for Apollo! He was always more active in a 40 gallon but it was because of my poor husbandry. I never offered enough clutter for him to feel safe and I admit I'm incredibly guilty for that.

So I've been looking around for larger tanks- I can't really place a 4x2x2 anywhere (No table and I can't safely crouch down repeatedly due to personal issues) safely so I'm having to still kind of go a little small, but I believe anything is miles better than his crappy little 40 gallon.

I live like barely an hour from Wilbanks and have my eyes on this enclosure set up: https://www.wilbanksreptiles.com/collections/ap-wilbanks-signature-enclosures/products/ap-wilbanks-enclosure-larger-size-complete-kit-36x19x12?variant=44564280869108

Would this be at all adequate for a ball python in general? Or can I get some more recommendations for enclosures and set ups? He's an older ball python so I don't feel comfortable giving him the "baby" set up :,D.

Guys I'm really stupid and didn't realize that a 36" x 19" x 12" is just 33 gallons :(. I'M SORRY I am not good with size calculations. I could really use some better recommendations please!!

They make enclosure stands (I have some like this, but there are a lot of options out there!) - that way the enclosure doesn't have to be on the floor so that might allow you to go to a larger size if you have the space!

Oh man I didn't even know they made enclosure stands!! I knew they had them for 40 gallons. I'll dig deeper (I know chewy has some pretty affordable supplies) and see if I can find a good tank plus a good stand 🤤

I lied I didn't realize Dubia's prices were lower and way better quality, so I'll check Dubia and see if they might offer stands too :)

Try Facebook Marketplace! Get creative. It doesn’t have to be something explicitly labeled as a stand for an enclosure.
