What kind of gallons are we talking about here? US gallons, UK gallons? dry gallon? Perhaps it would be better to use metric units. Same goes for temperature, it didnt specify at all, but I reckoned we were talking about Fahrenheit given the numbers, so I added that.
US gallons. In the US, many small pets are typically kept in aquariums, and aquariums here are usually measured by the volume of water they hold, instead of by their dimensions. Long, standard, and tall tanks have different dimensions. The correct tank size here would be a 20 gallon long tank. I'll see if I can find the dimensions of that tank, and update it. The 40 gallon figure is unnecessary for ball pythons, so I corrected it. Many balls do poorly in cages that are too large. A 40 gallon long tank would be big enough to house the very largest females of 5 to 6 feet in length, but would be much too large for a small 3 foot male. --Winged_Wolf (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
