    new to tubs, so this means questions :)

    I’m still new to the snake thing so I ask a lot of questions and most of the time they are stupid questions so forgive me if this is stupid
    I started off with a 3 month old male and I put him in a 40 gallon, which at first he was shy but, now he loves the tank
    Now he is 6 months and I just bought 2 more, 3 month old, females (sisters in fact)
    I have no interest in breeding just have a love for the animals and the looks of the normal
    I was going to build a rack so I don’t have so many tanks
    What are the largest size tub I can put my male in and my 2 baby girls?

    You mean "in" separate tubs right? They shouldn't be housed together at all. Also, be sure you quarantine your two girls away from your male for 60-90 days.

    To answer your question, I made a DIY rack with 34 qt tubs. All on my ball pythons have done well in them except one, she's in a 10 qt tub at the moment.

    My younger ones/juvies are in 28 qts (one is in a 15 qt, those would work too) and I have my big girls/adults in 34qts and I will keep them in that size for their life time. These sizes work best for me because it leave space for a water bowl, thermometer, and at least one big hide for the big girls if they need one and two smaller secure hides for the smaller ones.

    So if I were you, I'd stick them all in 34 qts now with lots of hiding spots and get a 34qt rack. That way you won't need to transition through lots of different sized tubs as they grow.
