Tub Is too big

[danielwilu2525]

So I was looking for a rack on craigslist and found one that held 10 of them In V-70 tubs. This Is perfect for me, however, the thing that concerns me is the size. Is it good to put 2015/2016 BP's In these? Are there any tub dividers for V-70 tubs? Anything would help out, thanks!

Those are kind of big for a hatchling. I think for 2016's you'd want more of a 6qt tub size, and 2015's maybe a 15qt size... or MAYBE one of those tubs, if it was cluttered up a little. I think it's too big for a hatchling, but if you put some fake plants and other stuff in there, it may be okay.

Not "maybe" or "kind of". V70s are DEFINITELY too big for hatchlings. You're just asking for husbandry issues starting little ones off in a tub that size.

If it's a good deal, the V70s are my tub of choice for adults, but it will be quite some time before you'll be putting them to use.

Eric is spot on . Those are designed for adults def not hatchlings . Since I am a nice guy I'll take that rack off your hands and give you a 6qt one .

I've been putting small snakes in big tubs with no problems at all. I use aspen bedding and they tend to dig in a bit way in the back down by the heat, it seems the bedding makes kind of a 'wall' and gives them the small hide they need, no problems at all for my snakes.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably be going with a V-18 and grow them up till they are 600-800 grams

It's like you're in my head! V18s are what all of my hatchlings start off in too until they're in the 600 gram range. I love that size tub.
