    Tub size, when do you move to a larger tub.

    I have 5 ball pythons although I am pretty new to the game (they are like crack!) I have a rack system set up that has shelving for 41qt, 28qt and then 2 shelves where I haven't figured anything yet.

    At what point do you switch your animals to larger tubs?

    I have one larger girl that is over 2000 so obviously she is in a 41 but other then that I don't know.

    Thanks

    I have no general rule, it depends on the animal and how it does, that when knowing each of your animal is important.

    I have some 500 grams animals in V70 tubs but I also have a few 1000 grams animals in 15 quarts tubs (it is tight but it is what's needed)

    I usually move my hatchlings into bigger tubs when they are around 400g

    I've seen this general guideline thrown around a lot. I'm surprised you didn't find it when using the search function

    6qt till 150g or so, 15 qt till 500 grams or so, 28/32 till 1200 or so, and 41 for anything over 1200g

    Of course this is a very loose guideline but it should help give some guidance.

    GL!
