I am trying to convince my mom to let me get a snake. I was thinking about getting a bull snake but I don't have much info on them. I need help with what size of cage to get?

I don't have the snake now I'm still trying to convince my mom to let me get it, which I think I will win soon. So I was trying to be a little prepared by having the cage set up before I get it.

does depend on the size of the snake if a baby I would have a STARTER TANK. Or a 2 ft tank If a baby mind Very Happy

I guess I have a smaller tank around 2ft but how long should I use that before getting a bigger tank. Do you have any sites that has like a care sheet on the bullsnake?

if you google bullsnake it should come up with a list of caresheets etc.

Thx Lynne I found a good site with basically all the info needed. I also plan to keep him/her well fed.

Excellent choice of snake, though they do get quite large. My female Bull is a good 6' long and quite hefty with it - however, she is a total sweetie and has never bitten me. They grow fast because they eat very well, so if buying a baby a small set up would be fine, but do make sure that you will have room for a viv., that is at least 4' x 2' for when she is adult.

No doubt some will say that a smaller viv will do, but I think that the size given is nice. Are you planning on getting one of the colour morphs that are available with Bulls ? Some of them are really eye-popping.

All the best,
Sue

Im not quite sure if I will get a morph. I was thinking about just getting a normal because i still like how they look and i do agree that most of the morphs are eye popping.
