    I breed smaller females up to 2000 grams in 32 quarts tubs without any issue.

    Yes there are actually many breeders using 32 quarts for breeding.

    Breeding is about being close, a 2000 grams or less female is not very big and does very well in a 32 quarts tub with a male.

    Any bigger I house in a 41 quarts tub anyway.

    When you breed two snakes the male should only be in the same enclosure with the female for a few days at a time, so it's fine to use whatever size the female is usually housed in. 28/32 for smaller females and 41 for the big girls. If you need more space take out the hide so they have more room to get closer together. After 2-3 days put the male back in his enclosure and give him the rest of the week off so he can relax before you try again. It may not look like a lot of work, but I've heard it's possible to breed males to death.
