    Exclamation Juveniles in Large Rack?

    I'm turning 17 tomorrow & people are going to give me money instead of presents anyway with this money & the money I have saved up from my job I plan to buy a large rack from reptile basics...I believe they're 36 inch long...is this too big for juvenile snakes... I'm planning on buying 09 albino & an 09 pastel...& I don't want to buy a juvenile rack no & in a couple of months a larger rack... so what do you guys think...

    You'll find people on both sides of the fence on this one. 20G longs are great for juvies IMO, and they're what, 2.5 feet long? I bet the tubs you're talking about are wider though.

    I think you can set it up just fine for juvies personally, typical 2 hide 1 water bowl scenario, and juts because it's a tub doesn't mean you can't decorate it more.

    Some of the RBI racks use tubs that have dividers - you could use a divider in one tub to house 2 snakes until they get bigger.

    I have juvies in some bigger tubs, all I do is crowd the tub with crumpled newspaper and they do just fine.

    All mine grew up in large tubs. No issues whatsoever. If the rack has sides, it's nice and dark in the tubs so they feel secure. It resembles their natural habitat in that regard since they spend much of their lives in animal burrows. You should be fine.
