    Tub size?

    Just wondering what size tubs do most of you use to breed in? I have Iris 30.6 quart tubs. Will these be big enough to put breed in?

    thanks,

    Dave

    Since I like trying various things over the years, this year I will use 32 quarts for breeding and have the females move to the males tubs.

    yea, 30-32 is great for most, unless the snakes are really huge then move up in size.

    Re: Tub size?

    I use the 34 qt from WalMart, and they work great.

    They are the ones that my BoaMaster racks were made for, and I always find them on sale for under $5 so I have continued to use them even when building my own racks.

    I even keep some pretty big 3000+ gram girls in them with no issues.
