    wot tub size?

    i was wondering if a 50l tub with dimensions H320mm x W590mm x D385mm would be suitable for adult royal pythons?

    0.1 pastel royal python (artemis)
    1.1 hermans tortoise (dylan & gilmour)

    That is a little big for a Royal. You'd be better suited going with a 32 qt (roughly 30 L) or 41qt (roughly 38 L) tub.

    I have 2 females that are 2000+ grams and 1800+ grams living happily in 32 qt tubs. I know others have mentioned that their larger 2500-3000+ gram Balls (Royals) are housed in 41qt tubs.

    Re: wot tub size?

    Hi,

    I think most folk in the UK use Really Usefull Boxes ( RUB's) - I seem to remember the 33L being mentioned for males and the 50L for big females?

    I am using the Komplement wardrobe drawers from Ikea for my adult females in the main rack but they may be slightly larger than needed to be honest.

    But for the grow out racks I am actually using these as I could get them really cheap in poundstretchers at the time.

    They are slightly smaller and you definately couldn't keep a decent sized female in them though.

    I don't know if either location will deliver but you might be able to find the product in a store relatively close.

    7 adult Royals (2.5), 1.0 COS Pastel, 1.0 Enchi, 1.1 Lesser platty Royal python, 1.1 Black pastel Royal python, 0.1 Blue eyed leucistic ( Super lesser), 0.1 Piebald Royal python, 1.0 Sinaloan milk snake 1.0 crested gecko and 1 bad case of ETS. no wife, no surprise.
