    could you plz tell me the dimensions of the 32 qt? Wouldn't it be better if it is bigger? Also will it be big enough for an adult male? could you plz show me a picture of it?

    A tub is a tub, they all look the same. 28qts are usually about 23" L x 16" W.

    Bigger is much worse actually. Adult males are smaller than adult females (sometimes 3x smaller) and honestly don't need anything larger than a 32/28qt.

    Ball pythons like security, it's in their nature. Smaller enclosures with less open space gives them that security that they need. Sometimes, big enclosures will stress out ball pythons so much that they will go off feed for months.

    This is a 2600+ gram female in a 28qt tub which isn't much different than a 32qt.
    I would not keep a female this size in this small of a tub, this is for "show" only.
    Pretty much all of my bigger snakes are in 40qt tubs and they do need that size IMO.
    I wouldn't however use the sizes the OP is asking about.
