    Minimum tub size?

    I'm planning to build a small rack for my snakes, ball pythons and colubrids.

    I'm a tad worried about the size, I already bought some tubs, which are 60cm x 40cm x 20cm, they seem ok for a ball python? are they actually good?

    Or should I use these for the colubrids and buy bigger ones for the balls?

    cheers

    I just found out that this size is almost equivalent to the American 32 quart, and therefore it's OK for male ball pythons.

    Re: Minimum tub size?

    If google calculated right, those dimensions are closer to a 50qt tub.

    Full grown snakes will be fine in a tub that size but I would not stick a baby snake in one.

    it is closer to 50 quart because of it's height, but when you consider the floor area it's actually closer to the usual 32 quarts.
