    Tubs sizes for hatchlings up to juveniles

    At how many grams should I move my hatchlings from the hatchling tubs( I started mine off in 6qt "shoe boxes") to the next tub size up. What is a good recommended size for the next size up?





    thanks in advance!

    I use V18 for snakes out of the egg all the way to 600 grams after that it's adult tubs.

    That's exactly what I was hoping to do in the future glad to see that it works. If you don't mind me asking where did you get your v18 racks from? The largest I've seen is 16 tubs from c-serpents I believe it was. I'm trying to find one with more tubs than that

    Mine are custom made and were purchased from Animal Plastics (That is before I met and started purchasing from Chris)

    Chris also has great rack and if you pick up at shows, in that case if you pre-order he will build the size you need.

    Both make great racks but there are disadvantage such as shipping and lead time, animal plastics lead time is 8 to 10 weeks, Chris is much shorter and he also does shows on the east cost which mean no shipping.

    Thanks for the info! I really like the looks of Chris' racks I'll definitely inquire with him when I'm ready. I'd love a double wide version of his 8 high v18 rack that would work for my plans.
