Adequate Size Terrarium?
Hi I am brand spanking new to reptiles. I keep fish and have done so for almost 4 years. I'm thinking about making a switch over to reptiles, which should be relatively easy habitat wise because I already have these fish tanks at my disposal! I have a really general question that I'm hoping some of you could answer for me to guide me into the right direction:
I have two tanks: a 10gallon and a 55gallon. From my VERY little research, it seems that a tank can actually be too big for some snakes because it makes them feel insecure or uncomfortable.
My question is, would any of the below snakes listed be okay in a 55gallon tank at there adult size? If not, what snakes would be?
I'm mainly interested in milk snakes because of how they look. Would an adult
Pueblan milk snake be too small for a 55?
Also, would a Honduran milk snake be too large for a 55?
Other options:
California King Snake
Ball python
Like I said if none of these work, please give me a name of a snake that is beginner friendly and would work in a 55 gallon at adult size.
Disclaimer: this is all theory right now. I have a LOT of researching to do and don't even know if I'll actually get a snake anytime soon. I'm just playing around with different ideas and seeking knowledge in this hobby.
