    Question Tub Size Question

    I tried using the search function and didn't quite find what I was looking for... I seem to remember a thread (either this site or another) that broke down what size of tubs people use for bps at different weights/sizes. Can anyone give me a quick breakdown of what they find acceptable?

    Thanks for the help!

    Re: Tub Size Question

    I use

    6 quarts for hatchlings
    12 quarts for BP up to 500 grams
    32 quarts for adult males and females up to 1500 grams
    41 quarts for females over 1500 grams

    (I often skip the 12 quarts and go from 6 to 32 quarts, it depends on the snake)
