Hey there shane, just about everybody here will say house them individually in click clacks, you know at reptile trader, did you see all his hatchlings in those little tubs below the Active Green Tree frog tank? Well thats what click clacks are

Are the chinese containers that some are housed in at the pet shops ok??? they are easily available, just use the ones left over from the crickets/woodies....thats if they are ok to be used

 

[shane14]

might be a bit small. Anybody else???

might be a bit small. Anybody else???

10L click clack is fine, one per click clack though.

 

[KaaTom]

So being too small why do pet shops use them?

There not to small.. if its just born or a few weeks old its ok..

I wouldn't keep them in those 'chinese containers' 'But they would most certainly work for a little while. I've got yearlings in 5L still.

They're only small snakes so they will be fine in 5L for atleast the first year, depending on how much you feed them. But I've also allready got yearlings into 10L and some are ready for their adult tubs.

If you're just keeping the hatchies until they're eating fine and able to be sold technically a 'chinese container' would work.
I've seen it done with carpets, (a friend got more hatchies then he could fit in his rack so he put some into them and they worked fine until the snakes were sold.

Oh ok... Ive seen ones that are a few mths old in them..... I thought you were talking about just hatched ones.... click clacks are great though, I swear by mine

 

[shane14]

cool awesome, what would be the measurements for 5L?

 

[No-two]

about 25cms by 35 by 10

i prefer to give them room to exercise, but click clacks are easy to maintain if you have alot of pythons and bugger all space
