    Apropriate size tubs

    So I am thinking about buy a rack from animal plastics and the in rack I am looking at the "adult tubs" are 32qt, would that be large enough for my adult female? I currently have her in a 40gal terrarium.

    Re: Apropriate size tubs

    That size tub should be good, as long as she is not huge! I have my 1700g & 1500g in 30.6qt tubs, and all is well.

    I think most people on here use 41 quart tubs for adults.
    Wait for one of them to post to make sure, though

    Yes, I have some of my females in 28qt sterlites, the big girls are in 41 qts, though 1 of my breeders prefers her 28qt tub.

    Those are fine for large girls. The really big 2000+ gram girls get the cb-70's which are close to the 41 qts in floor space but in reality are 30.6 quart tubs..

    Yeah my females are in 28 qt tubs, i even had my 2300 gram female in a 28 quart and she was fine, but switched her over to a Vision cage cause it was pretty cramped. I use 41 quarts for only really large females and really active females so i can put a hide in the cage that fits them and doesn't take up the whole tub.
