    Multi BPs per tub

    I was wondering if anyone houses multiple babies together until they become a little bigger? I was going to make the frugal rack and just house a few babies together in the "juvenile" size tubs. And with that rack is it possible to house adults?

    A lot of breeders house babies together until their first sheds...Personally I seperate straight out of the egg. I believe there would be too much competition for the warm spots and more secure areas of the tub. This would add stress to the babies that do not get these spots.

    I haven't had issues putting babies together until their first shed, after that they get separated. I know some big breeders that keep hatchlings in pairs until they are both feeding well, I guess it helps to add some competition for non feeders

    With that in mind then.. Can you put a baby in a tub that's too big for it?

    Yeah the worst case scenario is having a baby that wont eat for months out of the egg cause the enclosure is too big. I go for small and snug with all baby snakes, keeps them comfortable and healthy. I would separate the babies if they are over a couple weeks old, too much competition.
