    Question concerning tub size...

    It's actually not a question about ball pythons, but about a Woma Python or a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I am looking at different cages, and I'm trying to avoid spending too much money, but if I have to, I will. I'm trying to go with tubs, which I know is hard for these snakes. I found a sterilite 110 Quart tub online. The dimensions are roughly 3'x2.5'x1.5'. Is this big enough for an adult for either species? If not, can you recommend me a good brand of snake cages that are nice and affordable?

    Here is a link to the tub: http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProdu...=252&section=1

    Thank you!

    Question concerning tub size...

    I don't know anything about Womas but my male BRB lives in a 71q tub.

    He is going on 4 years old and pretty good size. I don't know if its normal for a BRB but he loves to hide.
    Got him a nice Boaphile 18" high, placed a large shelf and perch and he never used it.
    Moved some things around and put him in my 32q rack for a while and he seemed very happy. He is/was to big for the 32q but now in the 71q

    He is my only BRB right now so that's all I can help you with.

    BRBs needs high humidity and cooler temps so take that into account as well.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Thank you, these are the two I have been looking at. I also liked the Vision cages, but they're a little pricy. If I can get away with keeping them in tubs, then I will! But I want them to be happy

    Vision makes some nice cages. The one thing that I don't like about them, they have a lip around the doors. Makes it a bit of a pain to clean.
    Not 100% sure they are all like this but the smaller one I have has it.

    Good luck with your quest :p

    Re: Question concerning tub size...

    You have a very pretty snake! I think an adult would be okay in the 110 Q tub, because i would get it out everyday I could, so it would get plenty of exercise And I'd put things for it to climb on. Btw, how could I do that? Any suggestions? The tub is 20 inches tall.
