    Vision V35 short

    I apologize if this has been asked before but I can not seem to find any solid info on the V35 short tub. I'm thinking of picking one up from C-Serpents but I am a bit leery on the height. Are these good for ball pythons? I know V15/V18 is good for hatchlings but what about sub adults? I'm concerned about the height and whether they will provide ample amount of space. I understand that ball pythons are ground dwelling but to what extent do we stop giving them room to breathe. I do not want to put to much weight on the convenience of being able to use V15/V18 and the V35s tubs all in one rack over the comfort of my animals.

    Is anyone currently using these? How do you like them? Have your animals been feeding and responsive to living in them? Pictures?

    Thanks for any and all suggestions.

    I use the orignal V35's for my males and they work great.

    I've seen the V35 short style at a lot of shows and in my opinion they looked a little tight for ball pythons and water bowls.

    Some of my males are fairly large and I know they would not have much space in those tubs.

    From what I've read v35short isn't the best tub for animals above 800 grams. I think the best option is to have v18 tubs up until around 700 grams then move to a regular v35 or equivalent 28/30 quart tub.

    You can keep BP in the V35 Short until they reach about 700 grams which can also be accomplished in a V18

    If you want to keep adult male / smaller females you will need the regular V35

    Thumbs up Re: Vision V35 short

    You may be better served with the "sub adult rack" from c serpents because the height is 5.5" as opposed to the v35 short with a height of 3.5". The " sub adult rack" also is good for animals up to 2000gms. Personally, I use the v70 and that is good for animals 2000gms and over. Good luck. I know reptile basics has similar racks and tub dimensions without the shipping costs.

    Thanks for responses. Sadly I was expecting these answers but needed to make sure. Its funny how much 2inches of height spaces means. I am trying to find a good combo rack which can house both hatchling/juvenile/sub adult balls along with leopard geckos. I have been looking at both the Animal Plastics 1753 enclosed combo rack and a C-Serpents racks. I am a big fan of vision tubs but can not seem to find the right combination to fit my needs/budget. Ill most likely need to suck it up and accept the fact that Ill need multiple racks to accomplish this.

    Thanks for the guidance, truly appreciated.
