Recommended Products for Ball Pythons AKA Royal Pythons
The Ball Python (Python regius) is mainly a terrestrial species of constricting snake native to the diverse regions of eastern, central, and western Africa however, several studies have confirmed that they are also semi-arboreal and will often use trees to climb and hunt. In the wild, they are most often found in semi-arid grasslands, forests, and near agricultural areas, sheltering in animal burrows, hollow logs, and occasionally termite mounds.
Due to the imported African farm-raised Ball Pythons as well as captive breeding, the Ball Python today enjoys immense popularity by pet keepers/enthusiasts and the hobbyists/breeders that selectively breed them for their many color and pattern variations commonly referred to as morphs. As each new morph emerges, collectors and breeders will often sell them for several thousands of dollars, and sometimes, tens of thousands of dollars and this has created a cottage industry of literally thousands of home based breeders that can make a living and in some rare cases, even make a lot of money by breeding and selling new color/pattern ball python morphs.
Fortunately, while in the United States and some other countries most Ball Pythons are bred in a rack and tub system, most pet reptile keepers, who represent over 99% of all reptile keepers, house their ball pythons in much larger setups. Ideally, your pet reptile’s enclosure should try to mirror their natural habitat with décor, plants and other enrichment as well as appropriate lighting and heating in order to try and provide the best care possible for your Ball Python.

What Our Customers Say About Our Products
It took a long time to receive my order but I am pleased with the quality and structural integrity of this enclosure!
My Ball python loves this rock! I find him hiding under it often.
This enclosure is easily the best 6 foot enclosure on the market. It is simple to put together and decorate. It has huge internal volume. The screen mesh lets a ton of all light through. The sliding glass doors fit perfectly, though the handles could be bigger. I have a 6 foot Essential and 6 foot Evolution and prefer the Evolution for its clean looks and ease of assembly. My only wish is that there were light/heat cutouts on both sides of the PVC screen cover. For such a long enclosure, you might need heat on both ends. The wait times are LONG (measured in months instead of weeks) so I would recommend going to Snake Discovery to get one if possible.
As a reptile owner on a budget, this enclosure is phenomenal. It's the same quality as the standard enclosures, just has some scratches on it due to it being made of, essentially, off cuts. My snakes don't mind in the slightest, and I can confirm it's runt corn snake proof.
Couldn't find anything of this size anywhere else.
Great enclosure but took a month and a half to get it unfortunately.
Couldn’t be happier! Just the perfect product, super easy to install and my ball python loves the extra climbing opportunities! Shipped quicker than I thought, too! Worth every penny and I will 100% be ordering again in the future!
Its perfect on size and really easy to assemble, Im very satisfied.
Love this bowl. Looks great and my ball python keeps using it as a hide
I love it so much. It was easy to put together (I’m disabled and I was able to put it together all by myself) and it looks absolutely stunning in my room. It holds humidity so well and the doors are so nice and easy to use. It’s a fantastic size, lighting looks so good in it, and my ball python is super healthy and content. The topper makes everything look so nice, clean and sleek with all of my reptile related clutter and cords hidden away
Took me under 20 minutes to set up, the thick PVC is also perfect to drill things into it.I’ve had the vertical 25 gallon for my crested gecko for a year and will never go back, I just purchased the horizontal for my Pac-Man frog
Custom Reptile Habitats makes the best reptile enclosure hands down. The build quality is very high and the design is top notch. The mesh top is step ahead of everyone else and these enclosures will last forever. I also own the Evolution 2.0 6x2x2 and would probably select that one in the future. (It has tempered glass, is easier to build, and is more like one big enclosure than two 3 foot enclosures stuck together.) Lead times were very long, so just plan ahead and you, and your reptile, will love this amazing enclosure.
This is one great enclosure. I am upgrading from a glass enclosure. This one hold’s humidity way better. This one is for my ball python (Gus). I can’t wait to get my second one that I ordered a week later than this one and it will be for my milk snake (Bruce). I wish I would have got the extra security brace for the doors though when I bought my second one. I think I’ll need them for Bruce. I’m glad they put the wait time on the site so it is not a surprise on the wait. It took longer than expected because of material back order they said but these things happen. I like how everything is pre assembled before shipped, it goes together very easily. My next purchase from you guys is a sky hide. Their communication is fast to answer questions too. Thanks Nate
