    Housing question

    Hi everyone got another question here that id like some opinions on. currently im housing my female bp lacey in a 44qt/41.6liter rubbermaid bin. its dimensions are 23in long x 17in wide x 9in high. lacey weighs 275g as of last week and is 26-27in long. so im wondering if i can keep her in this even when full grown or if i will have to upgrade to something bigger? also if i do need to upgrade her when would you suggest i do that? thanks for any advice and help. cheers and i hope everyone has a great week.

    Re: Housing question

    I would say that tub is too big for her. Usually people put their BIG ault females (over 2,500g) in 42qt tubs.

    So to answer your question, that tub will be fine for her whole life. But I would put her in a smaller tub unitl she grows into the big one.

    She doesn't seem to be bothered by it. she has lots of places to hide, shes been a great eater, and goes from warm end to cool as she thermoregulates, and looks great. but thats nice to know i won't need anything bigger. thanks for the help
