    I would go with at least a 4' x 2' x 2' PVC cage

    Re: SD retic housing

    Some of the super tiny pure sd animals probably, but alot of those animals have been breed down size wise to adults at 5.5 ft...... I keep 50%sd (double het blizzard and hoping to ad some more) but my female is around 7.5-8ft I have her in a 4x2x1.5 cage and she may eventually go to a 6ft cage

    If its a true super dwarf, then a 4' cage should be good. But I do believe some bigger breeders keep stuff in tubs, though I have no clue what size those would be, lol.

    X2, I wouldn't ever house a retic in a tub permanently, even the super dwarfs.

    The only time I kept my male SD,which was 5ft long, in a tub was when I was working with him to tame and calm him down. Otherwise he was in a Boaphile cage. A 2x4. He always stayed in one corner but it was nice to have the extra room. A tub is too cramped to be a forever home.
