First timer! Confused

[Nagini91]

Hi, i was wondering what size enclosure would be a suitable for a Jungle Carpet python. This is my first time in buying a snake and i am kind of lost and confused with all the various shapes and sizes in which they come in. I have not purchased him yet, just trying to get the enclosure and everything sorted out. Any tips or advice on how to take care of them would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What size and age would your jungle be and then we can help you all pythons are similiar to care for they just need access to a heat source a hide and clean and fresh water

About 75% of their total length for the longest dimension.

If its a hatchie, I would suggest a series of storage tubs as you will be changing size more often. As it gets older you can look at a full size enclosure.

Agree with whats already been said, for a hatchie start with a 5 or 10L click clack, moving up to a 30L after a few months. An adult should be in a 3ft x 2 x 2 as an absolute minimum IMO

If your getting a hatchie, don't put it in a full size terrarium yet as they will stress out in large places.
