    Tub Size to small?

    Will a tub measuring 28 1/2 x 18 x 6 be big enough to house adult ball pythons? THe tubs are gong into a rack. These are the only size Iris tubs that I can actually get locally in my town. I can not afford to pay $20.00 shipping on top of the price of tubs for the CB70 or should I go with the Sterilite 1860 which measures 34 3/4 x 16 1/2 x 6 ? I do like the iris better if it would be big enough.

    Tons of British royal python owners house their adult bps in 50L Really Useful Boxes that has a floor dimension of 28x18. Seems like the "normal" enclosure over there.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I would go with the larger one for adult females but the smaller one is okay for males!
