In all honesty, from my own personal experience anyway, these don't create optimal heat for a ball python. Usually done lights work better for that. If you're looking for something to give more of an ambient light these are good. I have owned a few ball pythons and it seems a UTH and low watt heat bulb from Home Depot works better in one of their cheap domes for only like $8. My snakes have never been happier.

The $170 version is the Mini, a newer model, smaller than the original. That smaller model didn't exist when I made my purchase, or I probably would have bought it instead. Whichever size you buy, I suggest the silver color, as it looks sleeker than black.

I'd get the larger one. You can use the edges, or half of the 'brush'. Kittens grow so fast, don't bother with the smaller one.

i bought it for my Bearded dragon.. i know nothing about snakes... Except they are a snake.. the tank i got is 47 inches long, 20 inches high and 20 inches wide.. it is he best tank i think that is available .. it is well made,it is Sturdy, yet it breaks down (if needed, such as a deep cleaning or moving..) in 16 mins or less with one screwdriver.. it will secure your snake from escape and all that.. it has top screen locks, and frony door lock , if you decide to use them.. i cant tell you how Awesome it is., it really is the Best available.. at least in the usa.. i say that because, while i was doisawng months of research, .. i saw one that was of similar value in the UK but they don't deliver to USA.. and i do not think that one was as amazing as this one., .. i can and will answer any of anybody questions about this amazing quality and value of a tank.. i am the only reviewer for this Tank and i take the job Seriously.. lol .. i can post pics, whatever anybody needs.. just ask..

Hello Hee! Your hamster will be happiest in a cage with as big of a floor plan as possible. In small cages they can get territorial, which is why you hear about "the mean hamsters" all the time. So my general recommendation is to use something closer in size to a 20 gallon aquarium (which is about the same price if you look around) or even bigger if you can find it.

Hello Jayne, go for the bigger one. You never go wrong. Small has no room to expand if you want to do bigger.I bought mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars and works fine. Enjoy.

I bought the 16inch mainly because I needed a smaller footprint and I use it for my ship modeling projects. There are other makes that are smaller but I preferred the quality of the Excalibur and the excellent reviews on it I found on YouTube.

I really enjoy this tank. I like the all-in-one feature. It does run a little hot and I have to keep the back open, but it's summer and I hope that won't be continued into the winter. I took out the BioBalls and am using a media basket with carbon, floss and Purigen. I also have chaeto in the back as well. You can find a lot of information on the salt water forums. There are plenty of them and good advice with most. But for a clown and rocks it would be a good size. Being a smaller tank you will need to keep up with water changes as well. I hope this helps. Good luck.

First, I've never used ECO Earth. I use the Zoo Med Forest floor in two 10 gal. tanks for two small snakes that require a little humidity. The 24 qt. size will last me many months. It works for me. I think the 24 qt. would cover a 4'X2' tank once maybe twice depending on how deep you want it.

I'd get the mini for a 20lb dog...I think? I got one that was 6'' by 6" and it's way too big for my 10lb Pom but perfect for a Rhodesian ridgeback I walk...she loves it

Yes and no. It depends on how big it is. But I would say NO. A python would easily out grow this size of terrarium and may have stunned growth issues. I would say yes it it was very young but you would need a larger one in a year anyways

I always say the bigger the better. The small will work fine but it's up to you. Robos are small but that doesn't mean they wouldn't appreciate a larger toy. My hamster feels happier with the larger one I bought than the small one she used to have. I have a winter white dwarf very close to a robo size. She's tiny and cute.

It really depends on what you are using it for and how much you will use it. If you are looking for a novelty item I would go for the small one. If you will be utilizing this I would go with the big one. It is a quality product and you will be happy with it.

The smaller would better fit the wheels but the idea is to trap the darn bugs. We bought some of each size (36 total) but neither size trapped any bug. Better to just spray pesticide with growth inhibitor in to until they disappear. Good luck.

The mini works good with a 5 gallon tank and would probably be fine for a 10 but it may be slow. The small may be a better fit for bigger tanks.

Marshall, go with the bigger one. The kids love our parachute and we have found so many fun uses for it. But as they have grown I find myself wishing I had gone with the larger one. It's worth the extra investment.
