    tubs

    hi guys i was wondering what size tubs would you start out with for hatchlings and sub adults, i have a 60qt sterlite container. its 32x18x6, would it be to big for a ball that size? i dont want to stress it out and make it feel insecure, but at the same time i want it to have enough room to move freely. thanks in advance

    A 60qt would be too big for both of those sizes.

    For hatchling racks, people use 6tq tubs.
    For sub-adults, people use 15qt to 32qt.
    Most people house adult females in 41qts.

    Good luck!

    I do exactly as posted above.

    You don't need an enormous tub for these guys.
